Equipment
- Large Skillet
- Mixing Bowl
- Spatula
- Cutting board
- Sharp knife
- Tongs
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
Ingredients
- 500 g chicken livers cleaned and trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder optional
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Clean the Chicken Livers:Start by cleaning the chicken livers under cold water. Trim away any excess fat or sinew and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
- Prepare the Seasoning:In a small bowl, mix together the cumin powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, black pepper, and salt. Set this spice blend aside for later use.
- Sauté the Onions and Garlic:In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook until they become soft and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Cook the Chicken Livers:Push the onions to the side of the skillet and add the chicken livers in a single layer. Sear the livers on medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are browned and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the livers, as they should remain slightly pink inside to keep them tender.
- Season the Livers:Once the chicken livers are browned, sprinkle the spice blend over them and stir to coat evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the spices are well combined with the livers and onions.
- Add Lemon Juice:Remove the skillet from heat and immediately squeeze fresh lemon juice over the chicken livers. This will add brightness and balance the rich flavors. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
- Serve:Serve the chicken livers hot, either with warm bread, a side of rice, or a fresh green salad. Enjoy the flavorful combination of savory liver, spices, and the fresh tang of lemon.
Notes
Chicken livers can be prepared ahead of time by marinating them in lemon juice and spices for 1 hour before cooking. This adds extra tenderness and depth of flavor. Be sure not to overcook the livers, as they can become tough if cooked for too long.
