Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Livers

  • 1 pound fresh chicken livers

Butter

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Onion

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

Garlic

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Heavy Cream

  • 1 cup heavy cream

Thyme

  • 1 teaspoon fresh or dried thyme

Salt and Pepper

  • to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Livers: Start by cleaning the chicken livers thoroughly. Remove any connective tissue or fat. Rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels to ensure a better sear.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it’s translucent and fragrant. Then, stir in the minced garlic and let it cook for a minute until it becomes aromatic.
  3. Cook the Livers: Add the cleaned chicken livers to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are browned on the outside but still slightly pink in the center.
  4. Add Cream and Seasonings: Pour in the heavy cream, sprinkle in the thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together and let it simmer for another 5 minutes until the sauce thickens and the livers are cooked through.
  5. Blend for Extra Creaminess: If you prefer an ultra-smooth texture, transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender and blend until creamy. You can adjust the consistency by adding more cream if desired.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh chicken livers will yield the best flavor and texture.
  • Don’t Overcook: Keep an eye on the livers; overcooking can lead to a dry texture.
  • Customize Seasonings: Feel free to adjust the spices according to your personal taste.
  • Let it Rest: Allow the dish to sit for a few minutes after cooking to let the flavors meld.
  • Quality Cream: Use high-quality heavy cream for the richest flavor and texture.
