Chicken Livers Peri Peri

SUBMITTED BY: FAIRDINKUM PHOTO BY: Jerry White

"This is a spicy but succulent dish of chicken livers with a chili and vinaigrette gravy. It contains brandy as the magic ingredient. It is great for an entree or main meal. Serve with toasted bread or with fresh bread rolls, and watch your guests mop up the gravy with the bread!"

  • 1 pound chicken livers, trimmed and cut into bite-size pieces
  •  
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock

DIRECTIONS

  1. Place chicken livers in a large bowl, and pour in 3 tablespoons olive oil, vinegar, and lemon juice; season with garlic, cumin, coriander, chili flakes, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Stir together, and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
  2. Remove livers to a bowl, and reserve marinade.
