Chicken liver with pickles in a frying pan

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make chicken liver with pickles? Prepare your food. Try to take fresh, chilled liver, it will turn out juicier. But if your liver is frozen, then defrost it as delicately as possible by transferring it from the freezer to the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. Take pickled cucumbers, not pickled ones - they have a milder taste. You can vary the number of cucumbers depending on your taste.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the onion and cut into quarter rings. Although the cutting method is not important in this dish, you can cut it into larger or smaller cubes. To avoid irritating the mucous membranes of your eyes when cutting onions, rinse the onion and knife with cold water. The cutting board will not absorb the unpleasant onion smell if you rub it with a slice of lemon before slicing.

3. STEP 3

   

   Also cut the cucumbers as desired. You can do it like I did, in circles, or in strips or cubes. Instead of pickled cucumbers, you can use pickled cucumbers.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash and dry the liver. It will be convenient to do this in a colander, leaving the liver in it after washing to drain the liquid. Cut large pieces into smaller ones, cutting out ducts and veins, if any.

5. STEP 5

   

   Heat a frying pan over low heat, pour vegetable oil into it for frying. Add chopped onions and cucumbers. Fry them, stirring, for about 5 minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Then move the vegetables to one side (I always do this so as not to wash the pan) and place the liver in the free space. Make the fire stronger. Quickly fry the liver on all sides until the color changes - this way you will seal the juice inside, which will keep the liver soft.

7. STEP 7

   

   Then mix the liver with onions and cucumbers, add salt and pepper, and turn the heat to low again. Fry it like this for a couple of minutes, then cover the pan with a lid and simmer the dish for another 5 minutes, no more - the liver will become tough from long-term cooking.

8. STEP 8

   

   Serve the liver with a side dish or fresh vegetables. Bon appetit!

I have never cooked liver like this before. To be honest, I never even thought about combining chicken liver with pickles in one dish. But it turned out very tasty! It’s very easy to cook chicken liver with pickles in a frying pan. And it takes very little time. In fact, the dish consists of only three products, and the taste is excellent. My son initially mistook the pickles for olives. But it’s true that the taste turned out similar. The chicken liver itself is tender, soft and juicy. katushafin, thank you very much for the recipe for such an unusual and very tasty dish!
