Ingredients
1 container of chicken livers (about 9 whole livers), patted dry with a towel and lightly salted1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil1 large walla walla (or yellow) onion, diced3 cloves garlic1 large heirloom tomato, cut into wedges1 oz. black kalamata olives1 cup homemade chicken stock (or beef stock)1 tablespoon tomato paste1 teaspoon dark brown sugar1 tablespoon champagne (or apple cider) vinegar1 can anchovies (or 1 tablespoon fish sauce)1 tsp. black pepperCrushed red pepper (optional)
After patting your livers dry and salting them with a sprinkling of salt, heat up a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add extra virgin olive oil to the skillet and saute the livers. Let the livers stay on one side for about 5 minutes or until they are golden brown. Flip livers over.
Add onions, garlic, and tomatoes to the skillet and mix with the livers. In 5 minutes, add stock, anchovies, tomato paste, vinegar, brown sugar, olives, black pepper, and crushed red pepper. Turn heat up to high and let boil for 5-7 minutes until livers are firm but delicate. Vegetables will maintain a slight crunchiness, so if you like your vegetables a little softer, cook for 7-10 minutes.
Take off the heat and serve over orzo, linguine, mashed potatoes, or just eat by itself. It will be a saucy treat, high in Iron!
