Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 kg (2.2 pounds) Chicken Liver, chopped
- 2 Onions, chopped
- 1 Tomato, chopped
- 8 cups Water
Spices and Seasonings:
- 4 teaspoons Cumin Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
- ½ teaspoon Red Pepper Powder
- 2 tablespoons Tomato Sauce
- 3 cloves Garlic, crushed
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 cup Oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Coriander
Instructions
- Warm olive oil in a spacious cooking vessel over medium heat, introducing finely diced onions, aromatic spices, freshly chopped tomatoes, and tomato sauce. Thoroughly integrate all ingredients with a wooden spoon.
- Encourage the mixture to reach a robust simmer, periodically stirring to prevent adherence to the pot’s bottom. Gradually incorporate water and return to a vigorous boil.
- Carefully introduce clean, trimmed chicken liver pieces into the bubbling liquid, allowing them to cook through completely, approximately 8-10 minutes.
- When liver achieves opaque appearance and reaches proper internal temperature (160°F or 71°C), gently fold in freshly minced garlic and ground cumin. Stir continuously to distribute flavors evenly.
- Reduce heat and let the culinary composition meld together for an additional 3-4 minutes, ensuring all ingredients harmonize and spices develop deep, rich undertones.
- Remove the pot from heat source, transferring the fragrant stew into a pre-warmed serving dish. Accompany with freshly baked bread or steamed rice, presenting a hearty and aromatic meal.
Notes
- Adventurous cooks will discover this dish transforms ordinary chicken livers into a surprisingly delectable meal.
- Pairing the stew with crusty bread or fluffy rice helps absorb the rich, spice-infused sauce perfectly.
- Fresh garlic and cumin work magic by balancing the liver’s distinctive earthy undertones with warm, complex flavors.
- Proper handling requires careful cleaning, removing membranes and dark spots to ensure a smooth, appetizing texture.
- Cooking precision matters most – gentle heat prevents toughening, keeping livers tender and succulent.
- Refrigerated leftovers maintain incredible depth of flavor for up to two days when stored in an airtight container.
