Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken livers
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 medium carrots
- 2 stalks celery stalks
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 750 milliliters low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 leaf bay leaf
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 100 grams baby spinach
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
Instructions
Begin by preparing the ingredients. Rinse the chicken livers under cold water, pat them dry with paper towels, and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
Chop the onion and garlic cloves finely. Peel and slice the carrots into rounds. Chop the celery stalks and red bell pepper into small pieces.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing them for about 5 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken livers to the pot. Cook the livers for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are browned on all sides.
Add the carrots, celery, and red bell pepper to the pot. Stir well and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly.
Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and add the fresh thyme, bay leaf, and black pepper. Stir to combine all ingredients.
Bring the stew to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it cook for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
After 20 minutes, remove the bay leaf. Stir in the baby spinach and soy sauce, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until the spinach wilts and the stew is heated through.
Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat and let it sit for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the hearty liver stew hot, garnished with fresh thyme if desired. Enjoy this nutritious and heart-healthy dish!
