Brandy Cream Chicken Livers Recipes

BRANDY CREAM CHICKEN LIVERS

Steps:

• Wash and trim the chicken livers. Pat dry on paper towels.
• In a baggie, combine the flour, Cayenne Pepper and Mustard Powder. Season with Sea Salt and Crushed Black Pepper. Add the chicken livers to the baggie and shake to coat.
• Melt the butter in a frying pan and add the sliced mushrooms. Saute until golden.
• Brush the Ciabatta with Olive Oil, season with a little pepper and pop under a grill to brown.
• Add the finely chopped garlic and floured chicken livers to the pan and saute for a couple of minutes until the outside of the livers are very lightly browned.
• Pour the Brandy into the pan and allow to heat up for a couple of seconds before setting alight. Toss the livers around in the pan until the flames die out and allow the Brandy to reduce a little.
• Add the cream and stir until the livers are done to your taste. If you'd like the sauce thinner, simply add a little more cream.
• Cut the browned Ciabatta in half and put on a heat-proof plate. Turn the chicken livers out on top of the Ciabatta.
• Crumble the cheese on top of the livers and pop under a hot grill until the cheese melts.
• Garnish with a little chopped flat-leaf parsley and serve.

CHICKEN LIVERS IN BRANDY CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the onion until soft. Cut the chicken livers into uniform pieces and fry until browned. Season to taste with mixed herbs, salt and pepper. Add the brandy and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the cream and heat until the sauce thickens. Sprinkle chopped parsley on top. Serves 6.

CHICKEN LIVERS PERI PERI

Steps:

• Place chicken livers in a large bowl, and pour in 3 tablespoons olive oil, vinegar, and lemon juice; season with garlic, cumin, coriander, chili flakes, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Stir together, and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
• Remove livers to a bowl, and reserve marinade.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion, and cook until tender, about 7 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high, and stir in chicken livers; cook for 2 minutes, being careful not to overcook the livers. Stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, chicken stock, and the reserved marinade. Simmer gently for 5 minutes. Pour in brandy, and heat through.

CREAMY CHICKEN LIVER PâTé

Steps:

• In a spice grinder or clean coffee grinder, combine peppercorns, allspice, clove and coriander seeds; grind until fine and set aside.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium-high heat; when foam subsides, add onion and cook until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add livers to pan and sprinkle with salt; cook livers on one side until they begin to brown, about 2 minutes, then flip them and cook the other side. Be sure to keep heat relatively high so that the outside of livers sears and inside stays pink.
• Put onion, livers and their buttery juices into a food processor or blender with remaining butter, the cream, spices and brandy. Purée mixture until it is smooth; taste and adjust seasoning.
• Put pâté in a terrine or bowl, smooth top and put in refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours or until fully set. Serve pâté with bread or crackers.
