Chicken livers

I bought two packs of chicken livers reduced last week in Tesco and froze them but now struggling to find recipes! I have made warm chicken liver salad before but its a bit cold for that at the minute.

Anybody have any ideas please?

    Fry quickly in butter with garlic. Add a splosh of sherry or brandy and a handful of frozen peas. Serve with triangles of toast.

    use in spaghetti bolognese, chopped and lightly fried, instead of your usual meat. I always used to make it like this, and I like it.

    If you cant face using all chicken livers, substitute half to try it. Theyre quite strong so you dont need the same quantitie s as other meats ie 100g = about 150 = 200g mince

    I would definately go for the pate! Do a google, and you'll find a host of recipes! Wish I could have some right now, but not allowed as I'm pregnant... Sometimes that bites so much!
  • Definately mince them up and add to your bolognese sauce. i use pork mince, beef mince and chicken livers (250g of each mince with prob 100g chicken liver) Cook in a low oven when you have assembled all your usual ingredients for as long as poss - approx 5-6 hours (or use slow cooker)

    I use them in Risotto. My version is not written down, but it is something like this:

    fry off chopped onions in a large pan

    add chopped livers (take out the stringy bits)

    add rice and stock ( I think about pint and half but add more if it dries up)

    Season with pepper, salt and herbs


    Sorry not good with quantities as it is a 'rack of eye' recipe.

    MAybe someone else will have a better recipe
  • Thanks for all the ideas - I think I'll use one pack to make pate and the other for bolognese sauce. I'll let you know how I get on ..
