CHICKEN LIVERS WITH MUSHROOMS



Chicken Livers With Mushrooms image

This should probably be called Chicken livers and gravy as it forms a wonderful tasting gravy. I've had this recipe for years but don't remember where I got it. I'm posting the recipe as written and added my additions at the end. Hope you like it, can be easily doubled or tripled.(though I don't double the margarine for cooking the livers)

Categories     Chicken Livers

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 lb chicken liver, seperated
2 tablespoons margarine
10 ounces mushroom stems and pieces, canned
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon flour
1/4 teaspoon salt, if desired
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon parsley flakes
1 teaspoon instant chicken bouillon or 1 chicken bouillon cube

Steps:

  • Boil water, add bouillon to dissolve, set aside.
  • Melt margarine in 8 inch skillet.
  • Brown livers over medium heat, stirring occasionally for 3-4 minutes.
  • Stir in mushrooms (with liquid)
  • Add bouillon/water, flour, salt(if using), pepper and parsley.
  • Heat to boiling.
  • Reduce heat and simmer uncovered
  • Stir occasionally until livers are done, about 5 minutes.
  • I usually use fresh sliced mushrooms as I don't really care for canned. Sorry, I'm not sure of the exact amount I use, I just add until it looks like enough -- oh, and I add about another 1/8 - 1/4 cup of water too if I use fresh mushrooms.
  • I also add about 1/4 cup of diced onions and fry with liver for added flavour.
  • I also do not add additional salt as I feel there is enough in the bouillon but the choice is yours.

Categories     appetizer, side dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 medium onions, cut in two and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or butter, more as needed
Salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 sprig fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 cup button mushrooms, cleaned, trimmed and sliced
4 uncooked chicken livers (see note)
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar or other, or more to taste
Crusty bread or toast for serving

Steps:

  • Put onions in a large skillet over medium heat. Cover and cook, stirring infrequently, until onions are dry and almost sticking to pan, about 20 minutes.
  • Stir in a tablespoon of oil or butter and a large pinch of salt and a few grindings of black pepper, add rosemary and turn heat down to medium-low. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms release their liquid and it evaporates, about 15 minutes more. Remove vegetables from pan; set aside.
  • Wipe pan with a paper towel, put it over medium-high heat and add remaining oil or butter. When oil is hot or foam from butter has subsided, add chicken livers. Keep heat high and cook livers quickly, turning them until brown and crisp on both sides but still pink on inside, about 3 or 4 minutes total. Remove from pan.
  • Return vegetables to pan along with vinegar and 2 or 3 tablespoons water, just enough to deglaze; stir well to combine and serve with livers and crusty bread, or on toast.

SAUTéED CHICKEN LIVERS WITH MUSHROOMS AND ONIONS ON SOFT POLENTA



Sautéed Chicken Livers with Mushrooms and Onions on Soft Polenta image

This is my kind of comfort food-an accessible entrée to that old standby of liver and onions, yet fancy enough to be a company dish. Chicken livers have a deep, minerally flavor that I love, and they're economical to boot. Wild mushrooms accent the rich flavor with their own woodsy quality, while a silken puddle of polenta forms a savory pillow for the dish. Doesn't that sound better than meatloaf? This is a job for the biggest frying pan you have-the whole dish cooks in one pan.

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cipollini onions
6 ounces wild mushrooms, wiped clean (about 3 cups)
Extra-virgin olive oil, for sautéing
1 pound chicken livers, cleaned of any fat and sinew
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 cloves garlic, sliced
1/2 cup white wine
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/2 recipe Soft Polenta (page 66)

Steps:

  • Peel the onions and cut them in half. Slice thinly. Cut off any tough stems from the mushrooms and halve them if they are large.
  • Film the bottom of your largest sauté pan with olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Pat the livers dry with a paper towel and season generously with salt and pepper. When the oil is hot, add them to the pan and brown well on all sides. Transfer to a plate and drain the fat from the pan.
  • Return the pan to the heat and add a couple tablespoons of olive oil. Add the mushrooms, garlic, and onions and sauté for a minute or two, until soft. Return the chicken livers to the pan and add the wine, swirling to combine. Allow the mixture to cook down until the vegetables are tender and the livers are heated through and glazed with the wine, 2 to 3 minutes. At the last minute, add the parsley and toss to combine.
  • Puddle the polenta on 4 plates, making a depression in the center with the back of your spoon. Divide the chicken liver mixture among the plates, spooning it into the depression and drizzling with any juices.
