Posted 2015-06-22 by finyfollow

Chicken livers are a good source of protein.

They also have heaps of iron in them, are an excellent source of vitamin A, vitamin B-12, and riboflavin.

While they are not so attractive when uncooked, they are quite versatile in things other than [link http://recipeyum.com.au/chicken-liver-pate-with-eggs/ pate].

Preparation Time: 30 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Makes: 4 servings

Ingredients

100 g button mushrooms, sliced

Bit of oil

For the cheese sauce
150 g cream
75 ml red or white wine (I used red)
1 large or 2 small egg yolks
60 g cheese, grated

To serve
2 tbsp grated Parmesan
Parsley (optional)

Method
  • Clean the chicken livers, taking out the small bits of fat if possible, rinse and pat dry - if they are really big, cut them in half.

  • Melt the butter in a frying pan and add the bacon, onion and garlic.


  • Cook gently until soft -about 5 minutes.

  • Add the chicken livers and then the mushrooms.


  • Fry, stirring gently so you do not break the livers up. Cook for about 15 minutes or until the livers are cooked but not overcooked.

  • Meanwhile, boil some salted water and cook the penne as per packet instructions. Leave in the hot water till you are ready to serve, and then drain.

  • For the cheese sauce
  • Mix together the cream, wine, egg yolks and salt and pepper in a saucepan.


  • Whisk over a low heat until the mixture begins to thicken -avoid letting it boil, or it will curdle.

  • Add the grated cheese and stir till it melts.

  • Drain the penne and add them to the saucepan (or you could serve them and put the chicken liver sauce on top).


  • Put this on plates, and add the cheese sauce on top of it.


  • Add the Parmesan and parsley if using.
