Chicken liver in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare the necessary products. How to choose the right chicken liver? It is better to buy fresh, chilled liver. When frozen, it is difficult to examine, so there is a risk of buying a stale product. A sign of re-freezing is pinkish ice crystals on the surface. A high-quality offal is brown with a burgundy tint. Yellowish, greenish spots, too dark a color are a sign of deterioration. The smell should be sweet, not sour.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the liver thoroughly, remove films and fat, dry with paper towels. Transfer to a container, add refined vegetable oil and spices (khmeli-suneli, paprika). Mix well. Additional spices include basil, cilantro, parsley, dill, or ready-made spices suitable for chicken liver. In this case, be sure to read the ingredients on the package. If there is already salt there, take this into account when you salt the liver, otherwise you will over-salt it.

3. STEP 3

   

   Take a small onion, peel it and cut it into thin half rings. To prevent onion juice from irritating your eyes so much when slicing, rinse the onion and knife under running cold water. If you grease the cutting board with a slice of lemon, it will not absorb the unpleasant onion smell.

4. STEP 4

   

   In a separate small container, pour 50 ml of boiled water at room temperature into the tomato paste and stir.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place the onion and garlic pressed into the bowl with the liver. Mix well.

6. STEP 6

   

   Lightly grease a heat-resistant dish with vegetable oil with a high smoke point. Place the liver with spices and onions into it.

7. STEP 7

   

   Top the liver with onions with tomato paste.

8. STEP 8

   

   To ensure that the oven has time to warm up to the desired temperature, turn it on to preheat in advance (10-20 minutes before the start of cooking). Bake the liver at 180 degrees for about 40 minutes.
