ingredients

4 Servings

600 g chicken liver300 g red onion3 tbsp cooking oil or lard2 tbsp sweet paprika powder1 tsp marjoram200 ml water or broth1 tsp salt0.5 tsp ground black pepper

Steps

Prepare Onion

Peel and finely chop the red onion. Heat the oil or lard in a large pot over medium heat, then add the onion. Sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes, being careful not to burn it.

Paprika and Liver

Remove the pot from the heat, sprinkle in the sweet paprika powder and marjoram, and stir quickly. Add the cleaned, diced chicken liver (if necessary) and mix thoroughly. Pour in a little water or broth to prevent the paprika from burning.

Cook the Stew

Return the pot to the heat and simmer the liver over medium heat, covered, for about 15-20 minutes until tender. Stir occasionally and add a little more liquid if needed. Liver doesn't take long to cook; it's important not to overcook it, as it will become tough.

Season and Serve

When the liver is tender yet juicy, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve immediately, for example, with boiled potatoes, tarhonya (Hungarian egg barley), or dumplings.

Extra Tips

► Don't salt the liver too early, as it can harden; always add salt towards the end of cooking.

► If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix a little flour with cold water and add it to the stew in the last few minutes of cooking.

► Serve sprinkled with fresh parsley for an even more delicious taste!
