Yum!
Another post for our foodie friends. Well... foodie friends who will eat chicken livers. (Anybody still reading?)
Aurora, the sweet lady who cleans for us on Tuesdays, gave me a generous container of her rich and spicy mole ranchero. The same day we came across a vendor at the mercado selling beautiful fresh chicken livers. That night, feeling frisky in the kitchen, I poured myself a glass of chilled white wine and said, "What the hell?" Long story short, I think I discovered a culinary match made in heaven. The recipe (serves 4):
Ingredients
1 lb chicken livers (or a mixture of livers & hearts)
1 red onion, sliced thin
2T olive oil
1/4 cup oloroso sherry
1/2 cup mole (home-made or store bought)
Salt & pepper
Preparation
Caramelize onions in olive oil
When soft and lightly browned, add sherry and reduce to a syrup
Set aside
Saute livers 'til cooked through, but still tender
Add onions and mole
Cook on high temp until well-mixed and mole slightly reduces
Dinner: Serve with rice & veggie of choice
Breakfast: Fold into a freshly cooked omelette, top with a dollop of sour cream
Enjoy!
