Chicken livers and string beans

November 19, 2009 • Hello. I am currently out of the country and unable to respond to comments and e-mails. Rest assured, however, that future posts have been scheduled so new recipes will go live almost everyday during my absence. I'll be back soon with lots of stories and photos. Ciao for now! ~ Connie

Ingredients :

half a kilo of chicken livers, cleaned and each cut into 2-3 pieces (depending on the size)
1-1/2 tbsps. of finely minced garlic
1/2 c. of light soy sauce (I used Kikkoman)
ground pepper
1/2 tsp. of white sugar
a bunch of sitaw, broken into 2-inch lengths
3-4 tbsps. of vegetable cooking oil

Cooking procedure :

Place the chicken livers in a glass bowl. Add the garlic, pepper and sugar. Pour in the soy sauce. Mix well. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

Heat the oil in a cooking pan. Add the sitaw and stir fry (over very high heat, of course) for about two minutes or until they start to soften. Add the chicken livers together with the marinade. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes or just until the livers are cooked through.

What happens here is that the sitaw absorbs the flavors in the marinade while most of the liquid evaporates. The result is a wonderful, wonderful dish of tender and very flavorful chicken livers and equally flavorful sitaw.

    That’s yummy…. if you like chicken liver. I do — chicken, beef, pork, veal, goose, duck… basta liver. How about doing a dry adobo with both? :grin:

    I like this innards specially when cooked similar to bistek. In our place, Las Pinas, sa tapat ng RFC, may nagbabarbekyu nito. Kick-ass…

    Is it in your blog, relly? Love ko rin gizzards. :)

    wabbitga, wow, i can smell it. makabili ng sherry. :grin:

    Trosp, I think the sweet-salty marinade of our barbeques is really good for removing the “lansa” of innards.

    hi connie, i made this one today and i just loved it! i cooked the liver longer though, cuz i don’t like to see blood in my dinner and also i was going to give it to my 1 yr old daughter so i didn’t think a bloody liver would be good for her. I used green beans though because from where i live they don’t grow sitaw. Pero masarap pa rin!
