  • About

The use of chicken livers is not traditional but ensures a more delicate flavour than ox liver. The big plus of this recipe is the reduction in the normal fat content. This is achieved by using plenty of onion, which is fried in a covered pan so that the onion is cooked partly by steam and partly by frying in the fat. The caramelising of the onion helps to intensify the wonderful flavour of the dish.
