Sweet & Sour Chicken Liver - In Giblet Gravy Sauce
This sweet & sour chicken liver in sauce made from giblet gravy is super easily prepared, in just one pan and within 20 minutes. In addition, it is very nutritious, dairy free and tastes delicious with the liver being nicely tender.
First, melt the coconut oil in a pan on medium heat
Then, add chicken livers and evenly sear them for about 7 minutes until they get some dark brown colour
Next, turn the heat down to low-medium, add the onions and fry for 2-3 minutes until they become golden brown
Now, add lemon juice, soy sauce, ketchup & the seasonings. Stir everything and let it heat up for a minute, until the liquid starts to boil.
Afterwards, add the water and stir again
Finally, let everything cook for 8-10 minutes while stirring occasionally, until most of the water is evaporated and reduced to a sauce of your desired thickness
Recipe Notes
Take care not to add too much salt, because the soy sauce is pretty salty already.
As a side dish, I like to simply cook some eggs or vegetables.
This recipe for marinated chicken liver is super simple, makes the liver very tinder and mildens its taste. In addition, liver is extremely affordable and rich in nutrients at the same time.
You need to marinate the chicken liver about 12-24 hours before you want to cook it.
Optimally, you do this the previous evening if possible
Put the chicken livers into a zip lock bag or a container and add all other ingredients
Mix everything thoroughly and make sure that the meat is completely covered.
Then, close your zip lock bag or container and store it in the fridge for 12-24 hours
When this waiting period is over, preheat your pan with some lard or coconut oil in it to medium heat
Finally, fry the chicken liver for 10-15 minutes. It is no problem if some of the marinade goes into the pan and you can even use it to cook the liver in it or make a sauce out of it
While the liver is cooking, you may prepare some side dishes, like boiled eggs, vegetables or mushrooms
Recipe Notes
Never pour raw, leftover marinade over the cooked liver.
If you want to use the leftover marinade, make sure to boil it up to kill all harmful bacteria.
Don't marinate in aluminum containers or foil, because a chemical reaction could spoil the food.
The best way to marinate liver is using the zip lock bag in order for it to be evenly surrounded by the marinade.
