Hello my dear readers! Sometimes I even hear a dull phrase from experienced chefs: "There is nothing more boring than chicken breasts and liver!" If you do not show imagination, then yes, as they say in Odessa. We have already cooked phenomenally delicious. Today I will tell you how amazingly delicious fried chicken liver with onions can be. Let's check?
Liver - chicken, beef and other still quite affordable product. In Transcarpathia, it is almost three times cheaper than boneless pork. I often buy chicken liver.
You have to refine yourself so that it sounds different every time. The most profitable “batch” for the liver is fried onions. They have a mutual love, time-tested. Not everyone likes this combination, but still it is classic and very successful in my humble opinion. 
The third (but not superfluous) ingredient that goes well with chicken liver is sour cream. Her participation draws a trail of mushrooms, pickles, olives, spinach and a huge number of other additives.
Start looking at family portraits and the viewing will never end. So are chicken liver dishes with a reasonable approach. Something drew me to ornate reasoning - it's time to cook! I give you my best recipes with photos.
Chicken liver fried with onions in sour cream
Chicken liver Stroganoff with mushrooms
Taking on the preparation of a dish for the first time, I was faced with such an inexhaustible number of "authentic" recipes that I was a little confused. Should I use tomato paste or Southern sauce? What is the best way to cook - in sour cream or with cream? Are mushrooms optional here, or is this ingredient obligate, like fried onions?
In the end, I deduced my formula for this famous dish and use it to this day. Mushrooms do not have to take porcini. They usually drown out all the neighbors and stick out their indefatigable aristocracy especially sharply in the company of fried onions and sour cream. Cook julienne from them, and send prosaic champignons from the nearest supermarket here for a sweet soul.
Ingredients
- 400 g chicken liver.
- One tablespoon (take without fanaticism) melted butter or olive oil for frying.
- Large onion.
- 300-350 ml of good sour cream.
- One teaspoon of flour.
- 300 g of champignons.
- 30-40 ml brandy (optional).
- One tablespoon of Dijon or any mild mustard.
- Half a tablespoon of chopped parsley.
- Ground black pepper.
- Salt.
How to cook
- Rinse the chicken liver, let it drain, remove films, bile ducts, fat residues.
- Fry in a pan on all sides in half the melted butter for about five minutes. At the end of frying, salt a little, pour and stir the ground pepper. I strongly recommend using
- In another frying pan, fry the chopped onion in the remaining oil. As soon as he acquires the necessary goldenness with your help, introduce him to the peeled, sliced \u200b\u200bchampignons. Stir vigorously until all liquid has evaporated.
- Combine the contents of the two pans, stir. When the fried liver has warmed up with onions for about one minute, pour in the cognac (if you cook with it), sour cream mixed with mustard and flour. Heat almost to a boil, reduce the flame to low, cook for one and a half minutes, season with salt, pepper, if necessary, add parsley, stir.
On a note
Half of the sour cream can be replaced with cream - it will be even tastier!
Fried chicken liver in sour cream with pickles
Fried chicken liver with sour cream and onions is already delicious. Salted cucumbers, smelling of "lavrushka", currant leaves and vigorous dill give the dish a truly Russian character. Our friend who emigrated to Canada calls this dish "Longing for the Motherland."
Ingredients
- 600-700 g of chicken liver.
- Two large onions.
- Three pickled cucumbers (10-12 cm each)
- 400 ml of good sour cream.
- 40 g butter.
- Two tablespoons of flour.
- Half a coffee spoon of grated nutmeg.
- Half a coffee spoon of dry ground ginger.
- A quarter of a pod of red hot pepper.
- Half a glass of cucumber pickle.
- A quarter cup of chicken broth or water.
- Salt.
How to cook
Finely chop pickled cucumbers with a knife, pour a quarter cup of warm water, simmer until soft, but do not overcook!
While the cucumbers are stewing, prepare the sour cream sauce. Toast the flour in a dry frying pan. It should only slightly change the shade to cream and smell with nuts. 
Cool, put in some deep bowl, send sour cream there. Stir with a whisk until the lumps disappear. Pour in the brine from pickles, stir again. Set aside for now. 
My liver, leave to drain in a colander, remove the gallbladder, fat, films, cut into neat pieces.
On a note
Put in quite a bit of salt. Remember that cucumber pickle is quite salty.
Pour in chicken broth or warm water, simmer, covered with a lid, for one minute, send stewed cucumbers to a saucepan, pour sour cream. We bring to the first "bulk", reduce the flame to a small one, hold for two minutes. 
Serve as a hot appetizer or as a second course, adding a side dish that is especially good with gravy (mashed potatoes, pasta). 
Chicken liver fried with onions in caramel
Delicious chicken liver cooked without sour cream and flour. Especially for those who do not want to lay out extra calories on the sides, but cannot refuse tasty food.
Ingredients
- 600-700 g of chicken liver.
- Six medium onions or a dozen small ones.
- Two to three tablespoons of olive oil.
- 20 g butter.
- One tablespoon of granulated sugar.
- 250 ml dry white, semi-dry wine or dessert wine (madeira, port, sherry).
- One coffee spoon of ground dry ginger.
- One coffee spoon of grated nutmeg.
- One teaspoon ground black pepper.
- 1 teaspoon ground fenugreek (optional if available)
- Salt.
How to cook
We prepare the liver, as in previous recipes. In a frying pan, heat the butter in half the olive oil indicated in the recipe, put the chicken liver. Cook for five to six minutes until a beautiful "fried" color. We put spices, salt. 
Cut the peeled onions into quarters. Small ones - in half, and "kids" can be used as a whole. In a second frying pan, heat the remaining olive oil, throw in the onion.
We fry on a medium flame of a burner with constant stirring until a color is achieved, as in the photo.
Increase the heat, add sugar, stir quickly, pour in a third of the wine, cook until the wine has completely evaporated. We repeat the operation three more times until we use all the wine. Spread the onion in caramel on the fried liver, stir, simmer together for a couple of minutes. 
A simple, delicious dish is ready!

My remarks
Berlin-style fried chicken liver with apples and onions
I don’t know if liver and onions are cooked this way in Berlin, but the recipe has long been on my list under such a big name. The combination of tender chicken liver with the nutty taste of fried onions and caramelized apples gives an interesting, balanced, unusual taste.
I don't put a lot of spices in this dish. It's just black pepper and that's it. I think this is justified. When serving, you can put thyme and sage greens on a plate for decoration (much more than for taste).
The biggest difficulty is that the household should have at least three pans, since the liver, onions and apples must be cooked separately. Fried foods are combined only in a serving plate.
Ingredients
- Half a kilo of chicken liver.
- Large onion.
- Two sweet and sour apples with strong pulp.
- One tablespoon of sugar.
- Three tablespoons of olive oil.
- Ground black pepper.
