Chicken Liver Chorizo Salad Recipes

FRENCH CHICKEN LIVER AND GREEN BEAN SALAD WITH GARAM MASALA

Steps:

• For the vinaigrette: Mix the vinegar, mustard and garlic in a small bowl. Add a little salt and pepper, and whisk in the oil.
• Cook the green beans in boiling salted water until barely tender, about 2 minutes. Drain, cool and set aside.
• Pat the livers dry with paper towels, then season on both sides with salt and the garam masala.
• Heat the butter or oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned livers in one layer and let them brown, about 2 minutes. Turn them over and cook 1 minute more, leaving them pink at the center. Remove from heat.
• Dress the beans and tomatoes, if using, with half the vinaigrette, and add a little salt and pepper. Dress the greens with the rest of the vinaigrette, and pile them on a platter or individual plates. Top the greens with the beans, the tomatoes, if using, and the warm chicken livers.

CHICKEN LIVER & CHORIZO SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the chorizo in a large frying pan until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving 1 tbsp of the chorizo oil. For the dressing, whisk together the walnut oil, reserved chorizo oil and white wine vinegar, then season.
• Melt the butter in the same pan until sizzling, then cook the chicken livers for about 2 mins each side. Combine everything together in a large bowl, then drizzle over the dressing, toss well and serve straight away

CHORIZO AND CHICKEN SKEWERS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place chicken and chorizo in a large bowl; add olive oil, sherry vinegar, oregano, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt. Stir until chicken and chorizo are completely coated.
• Thread chicken, chorizo, red onion, and red bell pepper evenly onto 4 skewers, making sure that each piece of chicken touches 1 piece of chorizo. Place finished skewers on a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until cold 15 to 30 minutes.
• Cook on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.

WARM CHICKEN AND CHORIZO SALAD

Steps:

• Heat a nonstick skillet or stove-top grill pan, add the chorizo slices or chunks, and sauté gently on all sides until the juices run and the edges are slightly crisp. Set aside.
• Mix the vinaigrette ingredients together in a small bowl or pitcher. Use some of the mixture to brush the zucchini halves, then add them to the still-hot pan and cook for 5 minutes on each side or until hot and golden.
• Put the chicken into a large salad bowl and add the lettuce leaves and olives. Drizzle over the remaining vinaigrette, then add the chorizo and its juices, and the cilantro or parsley. Toss well, then serve immediately with garlic bread, toasted ciabatta, or warmed focaccia.

CHICKEN LIVER & CHORIZO OPEN SANDWICH

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a frying pan. When sizzling, add the shallot and the crushed garlic, and stir around the pan for 1-2 mins to soften. Add the chorizo and cook for 4 mins over a medium heat to release some of the oils.
• Meanwhile, heat a griddle pan until hot. Drizzle the slices of bread with the olive oil and rub the squashed garlic all over the surface. Put on the griddle pan and cook for 1 min each side until nicely charred with lines.
• Turn up the heat under the chorizo pan, add the chicken livers and sear for 1 min. Add the sherry, bubble for 1 min more, add the cream and parsley, then season well. Put 2 slices of bread on each plate, top with the chicken liver mixture and a drizzle of oil, if you like.

CHICKEN LIVER SALAD

Steps:

• Line 4 plates with the red leaf lettuce.
• Saute chicken livers in the oil until done. Add the grapes and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Divide among the 4 plates.
• Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of toasted pine nuts over the salad.
• To toast the pine nuts, spread them on a baking sheet and bake in a 350 degree oven. Watch closely as they burn easily.

CHICKEN LIVER AND CHORIZO SALAD

Steps:

• Coat the chicken livers in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. Set aside.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy-based frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry the chorizo slices for 3-4 minutes or until crisp.
• Use a slotted spoon to remove the chorizo slices onto a warm plate, leaving the chorizo flavoured oil in the pan.
• Add the chicken livers to the pan and fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden-brown and just cooked through.
• Remove the chicken livers from the pan and add to the chorizo.
• Pour off any excess oil from the pan, leaving behind the juices. Return the pan to the heat, pour in the sherry and stir to deglaze, scraping up any flavorsome brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and vinegar with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and add more olive oil or vinegar if necessary.
• Pour enough dressing over the mixed leaves and tomatoes to coat lightly and toss gently to combine.
• Divide the salad between serving plates then scatter over the chorizo and chicken livers, pour over the pan juices and serve with crusty bread.

CHICKEN LIVER SALAD

Steps:

• Wash the chicken livers under cool water. Separate into halves, discarding the connecting sinew.
• Heat the butter and 2 tablespoons of the oil until very hot in one very large saucepan (about 12 inches) or two smaller saucepans. Add the chicken livers in one layer, sprinkle them with half the salt and pepper, and saute over high heat for 1 minute, partly covering the pan with a lid to prevent splattering. Turn, and cook the livers for 1 minute more. (The livers should be pink inside.)
• Add the garlic and parsley, and mix well. With a slotted spoon, transfer the livers to a bowl, cover and set aside.
• Place the diced lettuce in a large serving bowl. Add the chicken liver pan drippings, and toss to mix well. Add the remaining salt and pepper and the vinegar, and mix well.
• Divide the salad among six individual plates, serving 4 liver halves per person. Serve immediately, while still lukewarm.
