Description

Higaditos En Chipotle is a classic Filipino-Asian appetizer that transforms humble chicken livers into a delicacy. The livers are quickly seared to retain their tender, creamy texture, then tossed in a smoky, spicy sauce made from roasted tomatoes, garlic, and chipotle peppers. The result is a bold flavor profile that balances heat, acidity, and richness. This dish is perfect for parties, charcuterie boards, or as a flavorful starter. It pairs beautifully with crusty bread for dipping or alongside cold beer. Quick to prepare and packed with umami, this recipe brings a sophisticated twist to home-style cooking without requiring hard-to-find ingredients.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Broil or roast unpeeled tomatoes and whole garlic cloves until charred and soft, then peel the garlic.
  2. Combine the roasted tomatoes, peeled garlic, and canned chipotle peppers in a blender.
  3. Blend the mixture until almost smooth, leaving a little texture for the sauce.
  4. Set the sauce aside.
  5. Trim chicken livers of any connective tissue, fat, or greenish bile spots, and cut each liver into six pieces.
  6. Heat melted chicken fat or safflower oil in a frying pan over high heat.
  7. Add the liver pieces and thinly sliced onion to the hot pan.
  8. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt and stir-fry constantly for about 3 minutes until the livers are just cooked through.
  9. Pour in the blended chipotle tomato sauce.
  10. Cook over high heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce reduces and coats the livers.
  11. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt if needed before serving.
