Ingredients
  • 1 lbs Chicken livers 1 lg Onion; coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cups Pancake flour (more or less) 1 c Mushrooms; chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoons Salt
  • 1/2 cups Margarine OR
  • 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
  • 3 tablespoons Olive oil (give or take)
  • 1/2 teaspoons Pepper or dried basil
Directions
  1. 1
    If using canned mushrooms, squeeze out all excess liquid. If using fresh mushrooms, wipe them clean with a damp cloth instead of rinsing.
  2. 2
    In a shallow bowl or a plastic bag, mix together the pancake flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. 3
    Coat the chicken livers thoroughly in the flour mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly covered.
  4. 4
    Place the coated livers on a paper plate and set aside while you prepare the vegetables.
  5. 5
    Heat 2 tablespoons of margarine or olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
  6. 6
    Add the coarsely chopped onions to the pan and sauté until they become just translucent and soft.
  7. 7
    Remove the cooked onions from the pan and set them aside on a plate.
  8. 8
    In the same pan (or a clean one if necessary), heat 1/4 cup of margarine or 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  9. 9
    Place the coated chicken livers in the pan side by side, one at a time, ensuring they are not crowded.
  10. 10
    Cook the livers until the edges begin to brown, then carefully turn them over one by one.
  11. 11
    Return the sautéed onions and chopped mushrooms to the pan with the livers and lower the heat to medium.
  12. 12
    If the pan looks dry, add small amounts of additional margarine around the edges to maintain moisture without lowering the pan temperature significantly.
  13. 13
    Continue to sauté gently for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until the livers are cooked through but still tender.
  14. 14
    Remove from heat and serve immediately, optionally accompanied by rice pilaf or crusty bread.
