Ingredients

• 250 grams Chicken livers
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground allspice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets, thawed
• 1 large Egg, beaten (for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2

Rinse the chicken livers under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Trim off any connective tissue or fat and set aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Step 5

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken livers to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they're browned but still slightly pink in the center.

Step 6

Season the mixture with ground allspice, salt, and black pepper. Remove from the heat and stir in the fresh parsley.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture to a food processor and pulse a few times until it forms a slightly chunky paste. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.

Step 8

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets and cut them into 4 equal squares per sheet (8 total).

Step 9

Place a heaping tablespoon of the chicken liver filling in the center of each square. Fold each square into a triangle, sealing the edges with a fork to crimp them.

Step 10

Place the turnovers on the prepared baking tray and brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.

Step 12

Let the turnovers cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
