Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chicken livers
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 1 medium onion
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 8 oz mushrooms (button or cremini)
  • 12 fresh chili peppers (or red pepper flakes)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness

Instructions

  1. Rinse and trim the chicken livers; season with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic, sliced mushrooms, and chopped chili peppers; cook until mushrooms are browned (about 5–6 minutes).

  5. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
