Ingredients

• 500 grams chicken livers
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 0.25 cup white wine (optional)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the chicken livers under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Trim any fat or connective tissue and cut into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Dredge the chicken livers lightly in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

Slice the onion thinly and mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the butter and allow it to melt.

Step 5

Add the sliced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden.

Step 6

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Push the onion and garlic mixture to one side of the skillet. Increase the heat to medium-high and carefully add the chicken livers in a single layer.

Step 8

Cook the chicken livers for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through but still tender inside. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.

Step 9

If using, deglaze the skillet by adding the white wine. Stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan and allow the liquid to reduce for 1-2 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the sauteed chicken livers with fresh parsley.

Step 11

Serve immediately as an appetizer or over toasted bread for a light meal.
