Method

If the chicken livers are large, cut them in half.
Combine the flour, paprika, salt, and ½ teaspoon of the pepper in a mixing bowl.
Heat the oil in a large skillet. Dredge the livers in the flour mixture, and sauté until browned, about 5 minutes.
Raise the heat slightly, and add the tomatoes, vinegar, chicken stock, wine, and rosemary. Simme
