Kosher Revolution'S Chicken Liver Crostini
- 5 tablespoons duck or chicken fat
- 1 small onion, sliced thin and roughly chopped
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 garlic cloves, flattened with the side of a knife
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh or dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh or dried sage
- 2 tablespoons chopped small capers, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 pound chicken livers (see below kashering)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 2 slices white sandwich bread, crusts removed
- 1 baguette, diagonally sliced into 12 pieces
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the fat over medium-high heat.
- Add the onion, rosemary, red pepper and garlic, and saute, stirring, until
- the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the oregano, sage and
- capers, and saute, stirring, until the onions are beginning to brown, about
- 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a plate and remove and dispose of the
- rosemary sprigs.
- Add the remaining fat to the pan and heat over medium-high heat.
- Sprinkle the livers with the salt and pepper on both sides and saute until
- cooked through, turning once, about 2 minutes. Return the onion mixture
- to the pan, add the wine, and cook for 2 minutes. Transfer the livers to a
- plate, and cook the wine until it has reduced to 1/4 cup, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pulse the sandwich bread in a food processor to make rough crumbs. Add the livers and onion mixture and pulse until a rough paste is formed. Season with salt and pepper, and transfer to a medium bowl. Cover and chill, if not serving immediately.
- Preheat the oven to 325u0b0F. Brush the baguette slices on both sides with the oil, transfer to a baking sheet and bake until lightly toasted, about 10 minutes. Spread the liver mixture on the slices and serve.
