Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Chicken Livers

    Rinse the chicken livers under cold water and remove any connective tissue or fat. Pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Chop the Onion

    Peel the onions and slice them into thin rings or wedges, according to your preference.

  3. 3

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Sauté the Onions

    In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they become soft and translucent.

  2. 5

    Add Garlic

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 6

    Cook the Chicken Livers

    Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken livers to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until the livers are browned on the outside but still slightly pink inside.

  4. 7

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If using, drizzle balsamic vinegar over the chicken livers and sprinkle fresh parsley. Stir to combine and cook for another minute.

  5. 8

    Serve

    Remove from heat and transfer the chicken liver and onion mixture to a serving dish. Enjoy hot.
