Ingredients - 2 kg chicken liver - 1 kg chicken gizzards and hearts - 100 g fatty chicken meat - 6 bunches of green onions - 6 bunches of green garlic - 2 dry onions - 8 eggs - Salt, pepper (to taste) - 4 bunches of dill - 4 bunches of parsley - 2 tablespoons of oil - 4 tablespoons of flour - 2 beaten eggs for brushing the puddings Preparation of Chicken Liver Pudding Step 1: Preparing the ingredients Start by washing the gizzards and hearts thoroughly, ensuring you remove any membranes. These will add a pleasant texture to the pudding. Boil them together with the piece of fatty chicken meat and a teaspoon of salt to enhance the flavor. The chicken liver should also be washed in cold water a few times, then added to the pot. Let everything boil for about 20 minutes until the meat is well cooked. After boiling, drain the ingredients and let them cool. Step 2: Preparing the vegetables While the organs are cooling, finely chop all the greens, except for the dry onion. The dry onion should be finely chopped to sauté later. In a pan, heat the two tablespoons of oil and add the chopped onion. Sauté the onion over medium heat until it becomes translucent and starts to brown slightly. This will add a rich flavor to the pudding. Step 3: Chopping the ingredients Once the ingredients have cooled, chop the gizzards, hearts, fatty meat, and chicken liver into small cubes. You can also use a meat grinder, but if you prefer a softer and less compact pudding, I recommend chopping by hand. Step 4: Mixing the composition In a large bowl, combine the sautéed onion with the chopped organs. Add the 8 well-beaten eggs, a pinch of salt and pepper, and all the chopped greens. Mix the composition well, ensuring that all ingredients are evenly distributed. Step 5: Shaping the pudding Divide the composition into three equal parts. Prepare loaf pans lined with baking paper. If you want to add boiled eggs to the pudding, make a small trench in the composition, making sure to leave a base and a lid from the composition so that the egg remains soft and does not harden. Step 6: Baking the pudding After filling the molds, brush the puddings with the two beaten eggs and sprinkle a little flour on top. Place the molds in a preheated oven at 180°C and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the puddings become golden and browned. Step 7: Serving Once the puddings are ready, let them cool slightly before removing them from the molds. The pudding can be served warm or cold, sliced, alongside a fresh salad or pickles for a contrast of textures and flavors. Useful tips for a perfect pudding - Make sure that all ingredients are well washed and cleaned to avoid any unpleasant taste. - Experiment by adding other greens like cilantro or basil for a different aromatic note. - If you prefer a softer texture, add a little butter to the composition. - The pudding can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator, making it an excellent choice for festive meals. Nutritional benefits Chicken liver pudding is an excellent source of protein, vitamins (especially B vitamins), and minerals. Chicken liver is rich in iron, essential for red blood cell production, while the greens add a boost of antioxidants and fiber. Frequently asked questions 1. How can I keep the pudding longer? The pudding can be kept in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 4 days. You can freeze individual portions for later consumption. 2. Can I replace chicken liver with another type of meat? Yes, you can use pork or beef, but it will change the final taste and texture. 3. What can I pair with chicken liver pudding? The pudding is delicious alongside a green salad with lemon dressing or assorted pickles. A recommended drink would be a dry white wine or a cold lemonade. Conclusion Chicken liver pudding is more than just a dish; it is a piece of culinary tradition that brings us together. Whether you prepare it for a celebration or just for a family meal, this recipe will surely bring joy and satisfaction. Try it and let yourself be carried away by its seductive flavors! Enjoy your meal!
