Ingredients
  

  • 500 grams chicken livers, cut in half and cleaned, (1 lb)
  • 4 tablespoons clarified butter, divided, Shortcut
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • black pepper, to taste
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme, or 1½ tsp fresh chopped
  • ¼ cup apple juice
  • dash light soy sauce, optional

Instructions
 

  • Add the flour, salt, and pepper as desired to a zip lock bag, and coat the liver with the flour. Set aside.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of the butter to a large non stick pan on medium heat. When hot, add the onion and apple slices. Cover and cook until tender and lightly browned. Remove from the pan, wipe clean and return to heat.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the pan, when hot, add the flour coated livers.
  • When they are browned on both sides, return the onion and apples to the pan and sprinkle in the thyme. Reduce heat
  • Give it a stir, cover for 2-3 minutes, then add the apple juice. Stir to coat everything in the sauce. If the mixture is too pale for your liking, add a dash of soy sauce.
  • Cook for 2 more minutes to reduce the liquid a bit.
  • Serve with cooked noodles, spätzle, mashed potatoes, or rice. Enjoy.
  • Or better yet, serve with Hot German Potato Salad.

    Excellent chicken liver. I made this for the family on 27 Sep 2018, and it was well liked. I used about 800 grams of liver instead of the 500 listed, other than that, perfect recipe.
