Stolen Garlic Chicken Livers

Chef #194937's Note:

This is the ultimate Garlic Chicken Liver recipe. Simple, quick, minimal ingredients. Stolen from my local Italian restaurant after two weeks working there as a dish washer just to get the recipe. They've retired now so I don't think they'll mind me divulging their secret!

• Total Time: 10 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 1

• 1/2 lb chicken liver
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 cloves garlic

Directions:

1. Wash, trim and dry the Chicken Livers.
2. DRY fry them, NO OIL, in a frying pan, for three or four minutes until cooked through.
3. Whilst still on the cooker add the oil, lemon juice and salt to taste.
4. Stir once gently to mix.
5. Serve immediately into a single portion dish and sprinkle liberally with chopped garlic, the more the better.
6. The dry fry technique prevents the liver from browning and keeps it tender enough to melt in your mouth.
7. Don't use Virgin Olive oil, the Greeks and Italians only use that for salads and dressings, very rarely for cooking.
8. Bon Appetite!

Just OK. Not that much flavor.

I love both livers and garlic, but I thought this recipe was just okay. Nothing special. I won't make again.

Made this for lunch yesterday and it was excellent! All recipes were stolen from someone, so don't feel guilty about it. I don't. :)
