Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Chicken Liver (sliced in half) (white stuff trimmed off)
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (to sauté)
- 1 Onion (large) (sliced)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
Creamy Wine Sauce:
- ½ cup White Wine (dry wine)
- ½ cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- ½ teaspoon Dried Thyme
- ½ teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- Salt and Black Ground Pepper (to taste)
Garnish:
- Parsley (fresh)(chopped)
Instructions
- Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
- Cook the Onion and Garlic: Add the sliced onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
- Sear the Chicken Livers: Place the cleaned chicken livers in the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until nicely browned but still slightly pink in the center.
- Drain Excess Liquid if Needed: If the livers release too much liquid during cooking, carefully drain the excess before adding the sauce ingredients. This prevents the final dish from becoming watery.
- Add the Creamy Wine Sauce: Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 1–2 minutes to reduce slightly. Stir in the heavy cream, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Simmer Until Thickened: Let the mixture simmer gently for 5–7 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and coats the livers evenly.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish before serving. Serve hot with crusty bread, mashed potatoes, or rice.
