Warm salad of liver and autumn fruits
4 servings
35 minutes
Warm liver and autumn fruit salad is a refined dish of European cuisine that combines the rich flavor of tender chicken liver with caramelized fruits. The history of such dishes goes back to traditions of using seasonal products to create harmonious flavors. Baked peaches, pears, and grapes add sweetness and a slight tartness to the salad, while arugula adds a spicy bitterness. Spices like cumin and curry create a rich aromatic composition that highlights the natural juiciness of the ingredients. This salad is perfect for both a cozy family dinner and a festive table due to its elegance and rich taste. It is served with orange juice, which refreshes and adds a light citrus note.
