Necessary ingredients For the puree: - 4-5 larger potatoes (approximately 800 g) - 3 roasted peppers (preferably red for a vibrant color) - 3 tablespoons of butter (for a rich taste) - Salt and pepper (to taste) For the livers: - 500 g fresh chicken livers (choose quality livers for better taste) - 4 cloves of garlic (for flavor) - A little fresh or dried basil (for an extra flavor boost) - 2 tablespoons of oil (for frying) - Salt and pepper (to taste) - About 150 ml water (to cook the livers) Preparing the roasted pepper and potato puree 1. Boiling the potatoes: - Peel the potatoes, cut them into cubes, and place them in a pot with cold water, adding salt and pepper. Boil for about 15-20 minutes until they are soft but not overcooked. 2. Preparing the roasted peppers: - If you don't have pre-roasted peppers, you can grill them in a grill pan or in the oven to achieve the characteristic flavor. Once roasted, remove the skin and seeds and let them cool. 3. Mixing the puree: - After the potatoes are boiled, drain them well and place them in a blender. Add the roasted peppers, butter, salt, and pepper. If desired, you can also add a little of the juice left from the roasted peppers for a more intense flavor. Blend until you achieve a smooth and creamy paste. Preparing the chicken livers 1. Heating the oil: - In a pan, add the oil and let it heat over medium heat. Make sure the oil is well heated before adding the livers. 2. Cooking the livers: - Add the livers to the pan and pour in the water. Cover the pan with a lid to help cook the livers evenly. Let them cook on low heat for 10-15 minutes. 3. Adding flavors: - Once the livers start to boil, remove the lid to allow them to brown. About 3-4 minutes before they are done, add the sliced garlic, salt, pepper, and basil. These flavors will perfectly complement the taste of the livers. 4. Finalizing the dish: - When the livers are browned and well cooked, remove them from the heat and get ready to assemble the plate. Assembling and serving On a plate, place a generous portion of roasted pepper and potato puree, and on top add the browned livers. For a touch of freshness, you can garnish the dish with a few sautéed green onion leaves in the liver oil. Serving suggestions This dish pairs wonderfully with a dry white wine, which will highlight the flavors of the food. You can also add a simple green salad on the side for a contrast of textures and an extra touch of freshness.
