Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Chicken livers
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
Instructions
Clean the chicken livers by removing any visible fat or sinew. Cut them into bite-sized pieces and pat dry with a paper towel.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Dice the onion into small, even pieces.
Heat the olive oil and butter together in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter has melted and starts to bubble slightly.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken livers to the skillet in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes on one side to develop a slight golden crust.
Sprinkle the livers with paprika, salt, and black pepper, then stir gently to coat and flip. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the livers are cooked through but still slightly pink in the middle to remain tender.
Turn off the heat and stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley for a burst of freshness.
Transfer the garlic chicken livers to a serving plate and serve immediately with crusty bread, rice, or a side salad.
