Just bought some chicken livers for the first time and although there's a nice recipe on the back for pate, does anyone have any other suggestions for how to serve them? And also, are they very nutritious, you know, as in e.g. liver (iron) etc?

Thanks in anticipation of your replies....

Well, I ain't gonna throw 'em out now I've bought 'em!

Don't think they're organic, just Tesco's brand I think. Suppose I'll end up making the pate if I don't know what else to do with them.. Can't imagine serving them cooked and as they are to be honest..

Can't be as bad as tripe surely...

Once you've done the above, fry up some onions and mushrooms in either raspberry or balsamic vinegar until the onions start to caramelize. Add the chicken livers and flash fry them for a couple of minutes maximum (any more and they'll dry out and go tough) then serve on toast. You could also stir in a drop of cream if you fancy.

Gorgeous! cloud9

Mind you, as mentioned, best done with the livers of decent organic or free range chickens - the offal of intensively farmed birds will be just as inedible as the rest of the poor creature.
Might well give that a go...

What's the texture like? Is it like cooked liver?
