Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped onion, honey, soy sauce, grated ginger, and white pepper to create a flavorful marinade. |
| 2 | Prepare the chicken livers by cutting large ones in half and removing any white sinew. Prick them all over with a fork to allow the marinade to penetrate. |
| 3 | Pour the marinade over the chicken livers, ensuring they’re well coated, and let them marinate for 30 to 40 minutes to absorb the flavors. |
| 4 | After marinating, heat cooking oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Using a slotted spoon, lift the chicken livers out of the marinade and brown them in the hot pan for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until nicely caramelized. |
| 5 | Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour any remaining marinade along with a splash of chicken stock into the pan. Allow the livers to simmer gently for 7 to 10 minutes, ensuring they are cooked through and tender. |
| 6 | Once the livers are cooked, add the prunes and sliced peaches to the pan, allowing them to heat through and meld with the savory-sweet flavors of the dish. |
| 7 | Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed, then serve the fruity chicken livers hot, accompanied by your favorite side dishes or on a bed of fluffy rice or couscous for a complete meal. |
Serving Suggestions:
Pair these succulent fruity chicken livers with a crisp green salad dressed in a zesty vinaigrette to balance out the richness of the dish. Alternatively, serve them atop toasted bread or alongside creamy mashed potatoes for a comforting and satisfying meal. Don’t forget to garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a vibrant finishing touch! Enjoy this delightful creation that’s sure to become a favorite in your recipe repertoire.
