Ingredients

• 1 pound Chicken liver (trimmed of fat and connective tissue)
• 0.5 pound Lean ground pork
• 0.5 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
• 2 stalks Celery (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground sage
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground thyme
• 2 cups Chicken stock (low sodium)
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 0 Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Begin by boiling the chicken livers. Place the chicken livers in a medium pot, cover with water, and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 8–10 minutes until the livers are fully cooked. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2

In a non-stick skillet, heat the pan over medium heat and spray it with non-stick cooking spray. Add the chopped onion, celery, and minced garlic. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.

Step 3

In a food processor, combine the cooked chicken livers, sautéed vegetables, rolled oats, ground pork, and spices (salt, pepper, sage, and thyme). Pulse until the mixture is well combined but still slightly coarse in texture.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl. Gradually add the chicken stock, one cup at a time, stirring thoroughly to ensure even consistency. Mix in the apple cider vinegar for a subtle tang.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray an 8x4-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray and pour the liver pudding mixture into the pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake the liver pudding in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the loaf is firm and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, invert the loaf onto a cutting board and slice into 1/2-inch pieces.

Step 8

Serve warm as a breakfast side dish or refrigerate slices and reheat as needed. Pair with grits, eggs, or toast for a true Southern experience!
