Here’s a recipe from her Gaa kitchen, for spicy frozen chicken liver on toast with fresh summer fruits.
Ingredients:
1.5 kg chicken liver
2 carrots
2 green apples
2 onions
500 gm butter
350 ml milk
150 ml cooking cream
100 gm celery
30 gm sambhar masala
5 gm curry leaves
90 ml triple sec
Thinly sliced fresh summer fruits: Lychee, longan, mango (can be changed to your preferred summer produce)
Method:
Soak chicken liver in milk overnight. Strain and set aside. Dice carrots, celery, green apples and onions. In a pan with a bit of oil, sauté and slowly caramelize onion, apple, carrot, celery, sambhar masala and curry leaves together. Set aside.
In another pan, sear chicken liver until golden brown. Add triple sec and flambé. Place both items in a blender with cream and milk. Blend well while slowly adding cubes of butter. Store in an airtight container and freeze.
To serve / assemble:
Toast thin baguette slices in brown butter until crisp. Top with fruits and thin shavings of frozen chicken liver mousse.
Enjoy!
