Salad with chicken liver and pickles

Kitchen utensils: frying pan, serving dish, grater.

List of required ingredients:

Onion	1 PC.
Chicken liver	300 g
Eggs	2 pcs.
Carrot	1 PC.
Mayonnaise	Taste
Pickles	2 pcs.
Hard cheese	70-80 g

Cooking sequence

Boil hard-boiled eggs for 7-8 minutes and cool in cold water.
We wash the liver and remove the film.
Fry the liver on all sides in a frying pan with oil for about 8-10 minutes and cool. If the liver is overcooked, it will become tough and it will take much more time to give it a tender consistency again. You can boil the liver, but fried liver makes the salad tastier.
Chop the onion into half rings, which are then cut in half.
Place in a heated frying pan, and while the onion is frying, grate the carrots on a coarse grater.
Add carrots to onions and fry until tender. If necessary, add oil to the pan, since carrots absorb it very quickly.
We also cool the prepared vegetables.
Grate the cooled liver on the coarse side of a grater or finely chop it.
Mix it with vegetables, transfer it to the prepared dish and grease it with mayonnaise.
Coarsely grate the cucumbers and place on the liver. Lightly grease the cucumbers with mayonnaise.
Add the next layer of grated eggs and mayonnaise again.
Grate the cheese and sprinkle it over the entire salad.
Top the salad with fresh herbs or beautifully cut vegetables.

I also recommend making the Pomegranate Bracelet salad or the Capercaillie Nest salad.

Warm chicken liver salad for the New Year's table

Many of us try to cook something new, not quite ordinary, and of course, most attention is paid to the main dish.
When preparing it, some products may partially remain, so if you are preparing liver pate for the New Year, I suggest preparing a warm chicken liver salad at the same time. In fact, chicken liver has many advantages: it never tastes bitter, cooks very quickly and is very tender. Or maybe someone will read the recipe and specifically buy chicken liver, then I’ll offer another salad option a little later. The salad is easy to prepare, and the set of ingredients is very small. Since the salad is warm and you will have to fry almost all the ingredients, the cooking time will be about 1 hour.

Ingredients

chicken liver – 300 g
onion (red) – 1 or 2 onions (weight 100 g – total)
carrots - 1 pc. (100 g)
mushrooms (I used champignons) – 250 g (before frying)
fresh cucumber – 100 g
salt, pepper - to taste

For refueling

homemade or Greek yogurt (TEOS) or any natural – 200 g (the main requirement is thick and without any additives)

balsamic vinegar - 1 tbsp. spoon (can be replaced with apple juice)
vegetable oil – 1 tbsp. spoon (I used pumpkin), preferably unrefined.

salt and pepper - to taste

Preparation

For frying, I use non-stick cookware and ghee - just a little to lubricate the pan.
Refined coconut oil is also very suitable for frying. Fry the chicken liver (do not add salt or pepper) on both sides, the most important thing is not to overcook or undercook, no pink liquid should appear when cut. Liver

Cut the onion into small cubes and fry until transparent.

Red onion

Three carrots on a Korean carrot grater and fry until soft.

Carrot

If the champignons are large, then wash them, peel the skin from the cap and cut them into several pieces; I had very small ones, so I didn’t peel or cut them. Then fry in a frying pan, first under the lid, then remove the lid to allow the water to evaporate. Cut the cucumbers into small (1 cm) cubes, add fresh cucumbers to the salad. All ingredients are ready. Prepare the dressing: add butter and balsamic to the yogurt and quickly beat with a fork until a homogeneous emulsion is obtained to form a homogeneous mass. Be sure to try it, you can change the proportion a little and add some spices, salt and pepper to your taste.

Refueling

When all the fried ingredients have cooled to room temperature, put everything in a bowl, mix gently and add the dressing, but not all at once, but gradually, it is quite possible that you may still have some dressing left.

Salad ready

You decorate everything as you wish. I used dill, fresh cucumber slices and pomegranate seeds. Hope you like it. Bon appetit.
