Heavenly Chicken Livers With Caramelized Onions and Bacon image

Provided by AfterMartha

Time 25m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

350 g chicken livers
200 g bacon
1 onion
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon garlic
flour, for coating livers
salt and pepper for seasoning

Steps:

Dice up onions and bacon and start them simmering in butter and garlic in a small pan. Leave this on a low heat until the onions become translucent and start becoming sweet.
While all that is on the stove, chop up your livers and prepare a flour batter seasoned with salt and pepper. Get a thick bottom pan and let it get very hot. Flour up your meat and drop it in in batches. Keep it turning so it browns on all sides but only keep it in for around 1-2min. The inside of the meat should still be lovely and soft when you bite into it. You do NOT want to overcook livers, they have a beautiful flavor on their own.
Serve with a side of mash potatoes and parsnips and you've got a lovely meal!
