Chicken Liver

This Lebanese-style chicken liver dish is rich in flavor, featuring a blend of aromatic spices and fresh herbs that elevate the natural taste of the liver. Served with a side of sautéed vegetables, it makes for a satisfying low-carb dinner.

Ingredients

• Chicken liver - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Ground coriander - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Bell pepper - 1 medium, sliced
• Zucchini - 1 medium, sliced
• Tomato - 1 medium, diced

Steps

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
3. Increase the heat to medium-high, then add the chicken livers to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on the outside and slightly pink inside.
4. Stir in the ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spices are fragrant.
5. Remove the skillet from heat, then stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice. Set aside.
6. In a separate skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced bell pepper and zucchini, and sauté for about 5-6 minutes until tender.
7. Add the diced tomato to the sautéed vegetables and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
8. Serve the chicken livers over the sautéed vegetables, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
