Creamy peri-peri chicken livers tips

Making sure your chicken livers are nice and browned and cooked will reduce the cooking time. If you want to turn it into a whole dinner, saute some onions, finely chopped green pepper and garlic before adding the livers. Add a can of tomatoes and half a cup of chicken stock and simmer for 30 minutes. Reduce the liquid and add the cream with 10 minutes to go. Serve with fresh ciabatta bread on the side.

Spicy food is great for staying warm and happy during the cold winter months. Stay cosy with our creamy peri-peri chicken livers recipe!
