Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken livers
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by trimming any visible fat and connective tissue from the chicken livers. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
In a shallow dish, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, thyme leaves, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a marinade.
Add the chicken livers to the marinade, gently turning them to ensure they are well coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
While the livers marinate, preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F/200°C).
Once marinated, remove the chicken livers from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the chicken livers on the preheated grill.
Grill each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and they are evenly browned. Avoid overcooking to keep the livers tender and juicy.
Remove the grilled chicken livers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm with a side of mixed greens or whole-grain bread for a complete heart-healthy meal.
