Best Chicken Livers With Spinach Noodles Recipes

CHICKEN LIVERS WITH SPINACH NOODLES

Steps:

• Cut the livers in half. Pick over and discard any tough connecting membranes. Set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the mushrooms, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms are lightly browned. Add the shallots and garlic and cook, stirring, until wilted. Do not brown the garlic. Add the crushed tomatoes, cubed tomatoes, basil, pepper flakes, salt and pepper; bring to a boil and simmer 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, put the flour in a flat dish. Add salt and pepper, and blend well. Add the livers and stir thoroughly to coat them. Remove them and shake off excess flour.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the livers a handful at a time and cook, turning as necessary so they brown evenly and are crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer them with a slotted spoon to the mushroom mixture.
• Cook the noodles to the desired doneness. Drain well and reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid.
• Return the pasta to the kettle. Add the liver-mushroom mixture, the cooking liquid and the cheese. Over medium heat blend and toss gently but thoroughly. Serve immediately.

GREEN NOODLES WITH CHICKEN LIVERS

Steps:

• Pick over the livers and discard any tough connecting membranes. Cut the livers into bite-size pieces. Set aside.
• Melt the butter and the olive oil in a small nonstick skillet. Add the onions and salt and pepper to taste. Cook over medium heat until wilted; then, add the garlic and the sage. Cook, stirring often, until the onions become tender. Transfer the onion mixture to a large saucepan. Set aside.
• Place the flour on a flat dish, and add salt and pepper to taste. Add the livers, and stir thoroughly to coat them. Shake off the excess flour.
• Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the livers in one layer. When hot and almost smoking, add the livers. Cook over high heat, turning the livers as necessary so they brown evenly. Cook until well browned, about 3 to 4 minutes or longer. Transfer the livers with a slotted spoon to the saucepan with the onions.
• Meanwhile, cook the noodles in salted water according to the package instructions. Do not overcook. Drain and reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid.
• Add the cream and the cooking liquid to the saucepan with the onion-liver mixture. Bring to a boil, add the drained noodles, nutmeg and the Parmesan cheese. Toss well, check for seasoning, and serve immediately.
