Chicken liver with tomatoes
2 servings
40 minutes
In the recipe by Badri Lemonjava, brand chef of the Georgian restaurants "Ojakhuri", the liver itself is not as important as its surroundings. Namely, a thick tomato dressing with the tomatoes themselves, tomato paste (it is here, like in borscht, for a particularly concentrated tomato flavor, especially since tomatoes are by no means summer now), savory and cilantro. All this should not stay long with the liver in one large frying pan, just long enough for the liver to absorb the aromas, give the dressing meat juices, but not overcook. Peppery, spicy, with a pleasant sourness, the gravy is so good that when you are done with the liver, you will want to collect every last drop from the plate with bread crumbs.
