Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Chicken liver
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoons Whole grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 4 slices Whole wheat bread
- 1 cup Mixed greens
- 1 large, sliced Tomato
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken liver. Rinse the liver under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the chicken liver to the pan, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked through.
Add lemon juice and chopped parsley to the pan, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Using a blender or food processor, blend the liver and onion mixture until smooth. Adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Toast the whole wheat bread slices lightly in a toaster or on a griddle.
Spread a thin layer of whole grain mustard on each slice of toasted bread.
Divide the liver mixture evenly between two slices of bread. Top with mixed greens and tomato slices.
Close the sandwiches with the remaining slices of bread. Cut in half and serve immediately.
