Rosemary-Fried Chicken Liver with Bean

Salad

Warm Pasta Salad with Bleu Cheese and Rosemary-Fried Chicken Liver with Bean Salad

Chicken liver with cream sauce and lingonberries always tastes exceptional.
But the addition of a Mediterranean-inspired bean salad with fried chicken
liver, garlic, and fresh rosemary adds a bit of flair.

4 portions

2 cans large white beans (each 14 oz / 400 g)
3 tbsp olive oil
½ cup (100 ml) chopped fresh parsley
½ lemon, zest and juice
sea salt flakes
freshly ground pepper
7 oz (200 g) cherry tomatoes
½ cup (100 ml) sun-dried tomatoes in oil
3 scallions
1 lb (500 g) chicken liver
butter for frying
3 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
3½ oz (100 g) frisée or radicchio lettuce
1. Rinse the beans and let drain. Mix with olive oil, parsley, lemon zest and
juice. Add salt and pepper to taste.
2. Halve the fresh tomatoes, cut the dried tomatoes into smaller pieces, and
cut the scallions into thin strips. Fold the tomatoes and scallions into the
beans just before serving.
3. Trim the liver, and cut into reasonably large pieces. Fry the chicken liver
quickly in butter together with the garlic and rosemary until the insides are
pink. Add salt and pepper to taste.
4. Arrange the lettuce and beans on plates and distribute the fried chicken
liver on top.
