Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken livers
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 units garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 unit lemon
Instructions
Rinse the chicken livers under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Trim any connective tissues and cut the livers into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the chicken livers with olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss until the livers are well-coated.
Cover the bowl and let the livers marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for a more intense flavor.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. You want it hot enough to create a good sear, but not so hot that it burns the herbs.
Once the grill is ready, carefully place the chicken livers on the grill grates. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the livers are browned on the outside and slightly pink on the inside.
While grilling, cut the lemon in half. Once the livers are cooked, remove them from the grill and squeeze fresh lemon juice over them.
Serve the grilled chicken livers immediately, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired. They pair deliciously with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
