These currywurst style chicken hearts taste delicious and are easy to prepare, too. They need some passive cooking time but become nicely tender this way. In addition, the recipe also works with nearly any type of sausage.
In the meantime, heat up a pan with your preferred fat for frying to medium heat
When the pan is hot, add the chicken hearts to the pan and the curry powder on top
Wait for about 30 seconds, then stir everything. Next, fry the chicken hearts for 3-5 minutes while stirring, until they become slightly crispy and brown
Now, add the butter. When it is melted, also add the tomato paste, all other seasonings & the water and stir until everything is mixed
Finally, set the plate to low heat and let everything cook for about 45 minutes while stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced to a sauce
This liver meatloaf / liver bread made from pork liver is extremely nutritious & easy to prepare with only 3 main ingredients plus seasonings. It makes a nice main or side dish, breakfast or snack and works well as a low carb & nutrient dense substitute for bread or burger buns. It can be enhanced easily by adding extra ingredients to the basic mixture. You only need a food processor, a loaf pan and -of course- an oven for the preparation.
First, preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Meanwhile, put the pork liver into a food processor and mince it for 30-45 seconds until you have a viscous mixture
Next, add the cream cheese, eggs & all seasonings and mince everything again until the mixture is homogenous. This should take about 1 minute and if necessary scrape off the residues from the side of your food processor's container, then mix again for a minute
Now, put a baking sheet inside a loaf pan or grease it with butter to prevent sticking. Then, pour the mixture into it
Finally, put your loaf pan into the oven and bake the mixture for about 1 hour until it is solid
Recipe Notes
You can check if the loaf is done by sticking a chopstick into it and pulling it out again. If there is no residue on the chopstick your liver meatloaf / liver bread is finished.
This recipe is very basic and you can modify it by adding ground beef, a diced onion, a minced avocado(minced in food processor before adding the liver) or some shredded cheese that you stir in with a spoon after mincing everything.
For a liver pudding, simply add a tablespoon of butter, 100g heavy cream & 250g ground pork/beef to the mixture and 2-3 bay leaves on top, before putting it into the oven.
Another idea would be to bake the mixture for about 20-30 minutes on a baking tray and using it as a pizza crust.
I simply added some mustard, low carb ketchup and cheese. If you want to you can go all the way to make sandwiches with the liver bread, with salad, cucumber, bacon, cheese and a fried egg - or whatever you prefer.
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.
