Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (454 grams) chicken livers
- 1 (14.5 ounces/411 grams) can diced tomatoes
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) dry white wine
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
- 1 medium onion
- 2 cloves garlic
Seasonings and Garnish:
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare a large skillet and warm 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat, allowing the oil to shimmer slightly.
- Toss in 1 finely chopped medium onion, stirring frequently until the pieces become translucent and soft, approximately 5-6 minutes.
- Sprinkle 2 minced garlic cloves into the pan, stirring constantly for 45-60 seconds until their aroma fills your kitchen.
- Crank the heat to medium-high and carefully add 1 pound cleaned chicken livers, spreading them across the skillet’s surface.
- Allow livers to develop a rich golden-brown exterior, turning occasionally to ensure even browning, about 4-6 minutes.
- Splash ½ cup dry white wine into the skillet, using your spatula to scrape accumulated browned bits from the pan’s bottom.
- Let the wine bubble and reduce by half, concentrating its flavors for 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes and sprinkle 1 teaspoon dried oregano across the mixture.
- Lower the heat, cover the skillet, and let the sauce gently simmer for 15-18 minutes until livers reach perfect tenderness.
- Taste the sauce and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper according to your preference.
- Scatter freshly chopped parsley across the top for a bright, fresh finish before serving hot.
Notes
- Work quickly when cooking chicken livers to prevent overcooking, which can make them tough and grainy.
- Clean chicken livers thoroughly by removing any connective tissue or greenish parts for a smoother texture.
- Use a meat thermometer to check that chicken livers reach 160°F internally for food safety without becoming rubbery.
- For a lower-fat version, swap olive oil with avocado oil and serve over cauliflower rice instead of traditional grains.
