I’ve been wanting to try a recipe for Lebanese Chicken Livers with Pomegranate Molasses for ages and since this first test is a total success (in my opinion), I’m sharing it with you directly.
Well, in fact I have already cooked it several times since I took the pictures of this first version, but without changing the ingredients and this recipe of chicken livers in Lebanese style is a pure wonder!
Do you know this recipe?
I’m a big fan of world cuisine and I have my phases, like many I guess …. I had my Asian phase, Italian, French too…, but lately I often come back to Lebanese cuisine.
So I’m not a great expert but in Grenoble, there is a Lebanese restaurant (Le Cèdre) which is an institution and which I particularly like. In their mezzes, they serve livers with pomegranate molasses and I wanted to try it at home to see what it would be like…
The result is not exactly the one of this restaurant but I love my version, without losing the desire and the pleasure to go to the restaurant…
I have to confess something to you because I think I’m not the only one in this case… I don’t like liver at all! But cooked this way in sweet and sour, it is personally a real favorite.
There are only 2 recipes (for the moment) in which I eat liver (of poultry because, the veal still does not pass…), it is this recipe with the pomegranate and in terrine. What about you?
In any case, I really invite you to discover this recipe…
