2 cups long-grain rice
5 cups water
1 chicken stock cube
1 medium onion, minced (about 3/4 cup)
10 ounces chicken livers
8 ounces butter
2 tablespoons currants or 2 tablespoons raisins
2 tablespoons pine nuts (I often sub toasted, slivered almonds)
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Cook the livers in 1 tblsp of the butter, and when firm outside, cool and mince into small cubes.
  • Saute the onion and livers in the remaining butter.
  • Add the rice and stir to coat the rice with fat.
  • Cook like this for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the water, currants, pine nuts and spices and bring to the boil.
  • Cover and cook for about 20 minutes, when all the water has been absorbed and the rice is cooked.
  • Remove lid of pan, cover with a clean dish towel and replace lid.
  • Allow to steam for 10 minutes.
  • Remove lid and fluff rice with a fork.
  • Note: if you have chicken stock, replace the water with that and forego the stock cube.

A Turkish dish. My preference is to reduce the amounts of butter and salt from what is shown. Please be warned that chicken livers have a taste that does not appeal to everybody.
