Cheap and packed with flavour, chicken livers can be an excellent meal for everyone. This simple recipe works great for a light lunch or appetizer. Enjoy a crunchy exterior that protects the densely textured meat from overcooking, and allows it to be mixed in different recipes without losing all of its juices.

Most butchers and supermarkets will sell chicken livers. Rinse the liver with cold water and trim it properly for the best flavour. Add rich-tasting caramelised onions that, combined with Madeira, create a perfect sauce for chicken livers. It’s tasty and nutritious especially if served over rice or toast.
