Preparation time: 30 minutes Cooking time: 20 minutes Total time: 50 minutes Number of servings: 4 Ingredients: For the pancakes: - 3 large, thicker, well-browned pancake sheets - 200 g chicken liver - 1 medium onion - 200 g sliced mushrooms - 2 eggs (for filling) + 2 eggs (for frying) - 1 tablespoon flour - 1 glass of milk (approximately 250 ml) - Salt, pepper, sweet paprika, dried thyme For frying: - Breadcrumbs - Oil (enough for frying) Preparation: 1. Preparing the livers: Start by washing the chicken livers well. You can marinate them in a mixture of salt, pepper, and a little dried thyme for about 10 minutes to enhance their flavor. Then, heat a pan with oil and fry the livers for 5-7 minutes until golden and well cooked. Once ready, let them cool a bit, then chop them finely. 2. Preparing the filling: In the same pan, add the finely chopped onion to the remaining fat from the liver. Sauté the onion over medium heat until it becomes translucent, then add the sliced mushrooms. Continue cooking until the mushrooms soften and release their juice, about 5-6 minutes. Then, add the chopped livers, sweet paprika, salt, and pepper to taste, and mix well. 3. Preparing the pancake mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the flour with the cold milk, mixing well to avoid lumps. Incorporate the beaten eggs into the flour and milk mixture, stirring continuously until you achieve a smooth composition. 4. Finalizing the filling: Pour the pancake mixture into the pan with onion, mushrooms, and liver. Continue cooking over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme to taste. 5. Filling the pancakes: Take each pancake sheet and fill it with a few tablespoons of the prepared mixture. Roll the pancakes tightly, ensuring that the filling will not leak. You can fold the ends of the pancakes to seal them well. 6. Frying the pancakes: Beat the other two eggs in a bowl. Dip each rolled pancake in the beaten egg, then in breadcrumbs, to give them a crispy crust. Heat oil in a deep pan and fry the pancakes until golden and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes. 7. Serving: Brașov pancakes with chicken liver are served hot, alongside a tomato sauce or sour cream. These add a delicious contrast of textures and flavors. You can garnish them with freshly chopped parsley for an extra touch of color and flavor. Practical tips: - How to choose the livers: Choose fresh livers with a uniform color. Chicken livers are the smallest and most delicate, while duck or turkey livers can offer a more intense flavor if you prefer. - Variations: If you want to add a touch of originality, you can also include other ingredients in the filling, such as olives, bell peppers, or even feta cheese for a more refined taste. - Recommended drinks: These pancakes pair perfectly with a dry white wine or a refreshing blonde beer. Additionally, green tea or a citrus cocktail can bring a note of freshness. Nutritional benefits: Chicken livers are an excellent source of protein, vitamins B12 and A, as well as iron, essential for blood health. Pancakes, although richer in carbohydrates, can be integrated into a balanced diet, especially when filled with nutritious ingredients. Frequently asked questions: - Can I use frozen livers? Yes, make sure they are well thawed and drained before use. - How can I make the pancakes less dense? You can replace some of the flour with oat flour or add a little baking soda to the pancake mixture to make them fluffier. - What other recipes can I try with a similar filling? You can use the liver and mushroom filling to make delicious pies or toasts. These Brașov pancakes with chicken liver are a perfect combination of tradition and culinary innovation. By trying this recipe, you will not only enjoy a tasty dish but also bring a touch of history and tradition into your kitchen.
