Ingredients

Main Ingredients (4 servings)

  • Chicken Liver (appropriate amount)
  • Spaghetti
  • Mushrooms
  • Onion
  • Flour
  • Parsley
  • Chicken Liver (appropriate amount)

Seasonings

  • Bouillon
  • Olive Oil
  • Butter
  • Garlic
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • [A] Marsala Wine (Dry)
  • [A] Marsala Wine (Sweet)
  • White Wine

Steps

  1. Prepare the chicken liver. Cut larger livers into pieces smaller than yakitori liver while keeping their shape, and remove any blood clots.
  2. For the hearts, remove any surrounding fat, cut them in half, and clean out the inside. (Pro Tip!) Lately, the liver quality is good, so a quick odor removal is sufficient.
  3. Wrap the prepared chicken liver in paper towels and thoroughly pat dry.
  4. Thinly slice 100g of Mushrooms.
  5. Season the dried chicken liver with Salt (to taste) and Pepper (to taste) all over.
  6. Lightly coat the seasoned chicken liver with Flour (to taste), tapping off any excess. (Pro Tip!) Flour is used to thicken the sauce and to sear the liver to a fragrant crisp.
  7. Melt some of the 50g of Butter in a heated frying pan, arrange the chicken liver, and sear until browned on all sides.
  8. Prepare another frying pan. Finely chop 100g of Onion and sauté with 1 small clove of Garlic, some of the 50g of Butter, and Olive Oil (to taste).
  9. Start boiling pasta. Short pasta (like penne) is also great for this dish.
  10. Wipe away any excess fat from the pan used to sear the chicken liver.
  11. Add approximately 70cc of [A] Marsala Wine (Dry) and 80cc of [A] Marsala Wine (Sweet) to the chicken liver pan. Simmer to evaporate the alcohol. (Pro Tip!) Madeira wine can be used as a substitute.
  12. Add the thinly sliced 100g of Mushrooms to the pan with the onions and sauté briefly.
  13. Add a splash of White Wine to the mushroom and onion pan, let the alcohol evaporate, and season with Salt (to taste).
  14. Combine the sautéed mushrooms and onions with the liver sauce.
  15. Gradually add 200cc of Bouillon while simmering the liver sauce to thicken. (Pro Tip!) The flour will create a wonderful sauce consistency.
  16. In a separate pan, melt the remaining 50g of Butter. Gradually add some of the pasta cooking water and stir to combine.
  17. Toss the cooked spaghetti or penne with the butter.
  18. Add the liver sauce to the butter-coated pasta, and adjust the consistency with a little more pasta water if needed.
  19. Plate the pasta, generously ladle the liver sauce over the top, and garnish with Parsley (to taste) for a colorful finish. Enjoy!
