Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams chicken liver
- 1 medium onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 125 milliliters low sodium chicken broth
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 4 slices whole grain bread
- 1 cup leafy greens (e.g., lettuce or spinach)
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the chicken livers under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Chop the onion finely and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, melt unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the chicken livers to the skillet and cook for about 4-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned on the outside but still slightly pink inside.
Pour in the low sodium chicken broth and add the black pepper and fresh thyme, then stir to combine.
Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the liquid to reduce slightly.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the balsamic vinegar.
Toast the whole grain bread slices to your liking.
Assemble each sandwich by placing leafy greens on a slice of toasted bread, topping with half of the liver mixture, and then another slice of bread.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium savory liver sandwich.
