Ingredients

500 gram chicken livers (trimmed and cleaned)
2.5 ml salt, add more to taste
5 ml crushed black peppercorns
170 grams onion, finely chopped (1 medium onion)
15 ml fresh minced garlic
7.5 ml smoked paprika
5 ml chili powder
250 ml fresh cream
15 ml white balsamic vinegar
400 ml peri-peri sauce or marinade
22.5 ml honey
15 ml lemon juice half a lemon
coriander leaves or parsley
olive oil or ghee for frying

Instructions

Remove any fat and sinew from the chicken livers, then pat them dry with a paper towel.
Season with salt and pepper, and let marinate in the fridge for 15 minutes.
Heat a little oil in a pan over high heat. Fry the chicken livers for 2-3 minutes on each side until they're crisp on the outside but still slightly pink in the middle. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, sauté the chopped onions until golden brown. Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and chili powder, stirring until the spices are fragrant and well combined.
Pour in the fresh cream and white balsamic vinegar, stirring until the cream begins to thicken.
Add the peri-peri sauce and honey, then mix thoroughly and let it cook until the sauce reduces and thickens further.
Add the cooked chicken livers back into the pan, along with the lemon juice. Stir everything together and cook on low heat for 5 minutes until the livers are warmed through.
Stir in the chopped coriander leaves and give it a final mix.
Serve hot with toasted baguette or garlic bread.
