Crostini di Fegatini (Chicken Liver Crostini) Recipe
- 2 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/4 stick)
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 8 ounces chicken livers, trimmed of veins, tendons, and sinew
- 1/4 cup Vin Santo or dry sherry
- 1/3 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 4 teaspoons capers, drained and finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh sage leaves (about 4 medium leaves)
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 1 sweet baguette, sliced and toasted
- Place chopped anchovies on a cutting board and make a paste by dragging the side of a chefs knife across them at a 15-degree angle about 10 times or until smooth; set aside.
- Melt butter in a medium frying pan over medium heat until foaming.
- Add anchovy paste, onion, salt, and pepper and saute until onion is softened but not browned, about 5 minutes.
- Increase heat to medium high, add chicken livers, and saute, stirring occasionally, until livers are browned all over, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add Vin Santo or sherry and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes.
- Add chicken broth, capers, and sage and simmer, stirring occasionally, until almost all of the liquid has evaporated and the livers are cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat, transfer livers to a cutting board, and reserve onion mixture in the pan.
- When cool enough to handle, finely chop the livers until theyre about the size of popcorn kernels.
- Return livers to the pan and stir in vinegar.
- Serve on toasted baguette slices.
