Masala Ma Tatraveli Kaleji (Sauteed Chicken Livers with Cilantro and Mint)



9 oz chicken livers
¾-in piece of fresh ginger, very finely chopped
6 garlic cloves, very finely chopped
1 large hot green chili, very finely chopped
¼ tsp ground turmeric
½ tsp ground cumin
Juice of ½ lemon
2 tbsp oil
2 ½ tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1 ½ tbsp chopped fresh mint
Salt

Poblano pepper donated by some lady in our department who grows them and leaves them in the office for people to take home.

Garlic donated by the cabinet.

Cilantro and mint not donated by Walmart. 

Clean the chicken livers and cut them in half. 

CHEEKAWN!


Mix together the ginger, garlic, chili, turmeric, cumin, lemon juice and some salt and then stir this mixture into the chicken livers until they are thoroughly coated.

Be careful - they're a delicate meat.

Heat the oil to smoking point in a large heavy-bottomed frying pan, then add the livers. Don’t stir them too much; just shake the pan to toss them or stir very lightly with a wooden spatula. Cook for 4-5 minutes, until browned on the outside but still pink on the inside, or longer if you prefer them well done. Toss in the cilantro and mint, then check the seasoning, adding a squeeze of lemon juice if you like. 

I'm always all about more lemon juice.


Serve immediately.

Served atop some yummy Hominy Grits!



My Rating: 4/5 "Amazing in small doses, and surprisingly delicious with grits. Dare yourself to try this!"
