Chicken Livers With Sage Recipes

CHICKEN LIVER AND SAGE CROSTINI

Steps:

• Line plate with paper towels. Heat oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced sage; sauté until crisp, about 30 seconds. Using slotted spoon, transfer sauteed sage to paper towels. Add onion to same skillet; sauté until golden, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, chopped liver, and 1 teaspoon chopped sage. Stir until liver is no longer red, about 3 minutes. Increase heat to high, add Madeira, and cook until wine has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add salt and pepper. Divide liver mixture among baguette slices. Top with sautéed sage. Serve crostini on bed of fresh sage leaves, if desired.

CHICKEN LIVERS WITH ONIONS AND SAGE

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a nonstick skillet, and add the onions, cloves, salt and pepper. Toss and stir over medium heat for about 10 minutes. The onions should be browned and soft. Discard the cloves; keep the onions warm.
• Pick over the chicken livers and remove any tough veins. Quarter the livers.
• Put the livers in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the flour and stir to coat well.
• Remove the livers to a baking sheet, separating them.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add half of the livers one at a time. Cook, turning the livers as they brown. One batch of livers takes about 4 to 5 minutes to cook. Drain the livers. Wipe out the skillet, and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Cook the remaining livers the same way, then drain.
• Using the same skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over high heat. Add the livers, cooked onions, sage, salt and pepper. Cook, shaking the skillet and tossing the livers so they will heat throughout. Add the vinegar, stir and blend well for about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley, and serve immediately.
