Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken livers
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 3 tablespoons Peri peri sauce
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Clean and trim the chicken livers, removing any connective tissue. Rinse and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 3
Once the butter has melted, add the finely chopped onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic, red chili flakes, and smoked paprika to the pan. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken livers to the pan. Sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are browned but still slightly pink inside.
Step 6
Lower the heat to medium and stir in the peri peri sauce, heavy cream, and chicken stock. Mix well to combine.
Step 7
Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and the livers are fully cooked through.
Step 8
Add the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to taste. Stir to combine.
Step 9
Remove from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the dish for garnish.
Step 10
Serve hot with crusty bread, rice, or as a standalone starter.
