Ingredients
Scale
- 1 kg (2.2 lbs) chicken liver, chopped
- 2 onions, chopped
- 1 cup oil
- 8 cups water
- 1 tomato, chopped
- 4 tsp cumin powder
- 2 tbsps tomato sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 tbsps fresh coriander
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp red pepper powder
Instructions
- Sauté Base: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium flame. Introduce finely diced onions, tomatoes, and tomato sauce, blending ingredients thoroughly with a wooden spoon until they create a fragrant foundation.
- Liquid Integration: Pour water into the simmering mixture, elevating the heat to generate a vigorous boil. Ensure constant stirring to prevent ingredient adhesion to the pan’s surface.
- Liver Cooking: Gently add cleaned chicken liver pieces into the bubbling liquid. Allow them to cook completely for 8-10 minutes, transforming from raw to opaque while maintaining a consistent temperature around 160°F.
- Flavor Enhancement: Incorporate minced garlic and ground cumin into the liver mixture. Stir continuously to distribute seasonings evenly, creating a rich and complex flavor profile.
- Final Melding: Reduce heat and let the culinary composition simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes. This crucial stage allows spices to develop deep, robust undertones and ingredients to harmonize seamlessly.
- Serving Presentation: Remove the skillet from heat, transferring the aromatic liver stew into a pre-warmed serving dish. Complement the dish with freshly baked bread or steamed rice for a complete, satisfying meal.
Notes
- Liver Preparation Tip: Thoroughly clean and trim chicken livers, removing any visible connective tissue or discolored parts to ensure optimal taste and texture.
- Temperature Control: Monitor cooking heat carefully; medium temperature prevents liver from becoming tough or rubbery, maintaining a delicate, soft consistency.
- Spice Balancing: Add garlic and cumin at the end of cooking to preserve their vibrant flavors and prevent burning, creating a more nuanced and aromatic dish.
- Safe Cooking Guidance: Always cook chicken liver to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) to eliminate potential foodborne pathogens and ensure safe consumption.
