Ingredients
1 pound chicken livers
2 large yellow onions, sliced
2 tablespoons butter, unsalted
1 tablespoon olive oil, extra virgin
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 200°F (95°C) for warming livers. In a large skillet, combine butter, olive oil, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper over medium heat.
Add sliced onions and sauté for 5 minutes, then push onions to the edges of the pan.
Place chicken livers in the center, searing for 2-3 minutes until golden-brown. Transfer to a baking sheet and warm in the oven for 5-7 minutes until fully cooked.
Return livers to the skillet with onions, spoon-onion reduction over the livers, and serve immediately.
Notes
Use beef liver for a stronger flavor. Substitute ghee for higher smoke point. Sweet onions or shallots offer a milder taste. Adjust salt to taste. Best served with non-starchy vegetables or avocado for added satiety.
