Main Ingredients

Optional Garnish

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Chicken Livers

    Rinse the chicken livers under cold running water and pat them dry with paper towels. Trim any visible fat or connective tissue.

  2. 2

    Chop the Onion and Garlic

    Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Optional Garnish

    If using, chop the fresh parsley and cut the lemon into wedges.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Sauté the Onions and Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 5

    Cook the Chicken Livers

    Increase the heat to medium-high and add the cleaned chicken livers to the skillet. Season with salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the livers are browned on the outside but still slightly pink inside.

  3. 6

    Finish with Lemon Juice

    Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the cooked chicken livers. Toss gently to combine.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    Transfer the chicken livers to a serving platter. If desired, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
