Ingredients

Grilled-Flavored Chicken Liver

 

  • 1 kg chicken liver (cleaned and cut into large chunks)

  • 6 ripe tomatoes, chopped

  • 3 medium potatoes, diced

  • 2 large bell peppers (or hot green chili peppers), chopped

  • 2 large onions, finely chopped

  • 8 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 tsp black pepper

  • ½ cup olive oil

  • Optional: 1 piece of charcoal for smoky grill flavor

  • Fresh parsley leaves for garnish

How to Make Grilled-Flavored Chicken Liver

Step 1: Prepare the Liver

  • Wash the chicken livers thoroughly in cold water several times. Cut into large bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

  • In a deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.

  • Add the onions and sauté until they soften and become translucent.

  • Add the bell pepper and garlic, stir well, and cook until fragrant.

Step 3: Build the Base

  • Transfer the sautéed mixture to a large cooking pot.

  • Add the chopped tomatoes, salt, and black pepper.

  • Cover and simmer until the tomatoes break down and the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 4: Add the Liver

  • Once the tomato mixture is ready, add the chicken liver to the pot.

  • Cover and let it simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the liver is fully cooked through and tender.

Step 5: Fry the Potatoes

  • In a separate pan, lightly fry the diced potatoes in oil until golden and crisp.

  • Drain excess oil and add the potatoes to the liver mixture, stirring gently to combine.

Step 6: Optional Charcoal Smoking
To give your dish a delicious grilled aroma:

  1. Heat a piece of charcoal until it turns red-hot.

  2. Place a small stainless steel or foil dish in the center of the pot.

  3. Pour a few drops of oil or ghee into the dish and carefully place the hot charcoal inside.

  4. Immediately cover the pot tightly with a lid to trap the smoke for about 3–5 minutes.

  5. Remove the lid, discard the charcoal dish, and gently stir.

Step 7: Serve
Transfer the cooked liver and vegetables to a serving dish.
Garnish with fresh parsley leaves, and serve hot alongside salad, rice, or warm pita bread.

Enjoy your smoky, tender chicken liver—a dish full of bold flavor and loaded with health benefits. Bon appétit!
