Instructions

8 steps

Step 1

3 ingredients

Prepare the chicken liver. Remove membranes and veins, cut large pieces in half. Pat dry well with paper towels. Slice the shallot into thin half rings, and cut cherry tomatoes in half.

Step 3

2 ingredients

Cook the polenta over low heat according to the package instructions, stirring frequently. Towards the end, add butter and finely grated Parmesan. Stir well. The polenta should remain tender and creamy, not a thick clump. If needed, add 1–2 tablespoons of hot water.

Step 4

1 ingredient

Heat a non-stick skillet well with 3 g of olive oil. Arrange the liver in a single layer and fry for about 2–3 minutes on the first side without moving it to form a golden crust.

Step 7

3 ingredients

Add the halved cherry tomatoes, 0.4 g of salt, and some black pepper. Cook for another 1–2 minutes over fairly high heat: the tomatoes should warm through and brown in places but not turn into a sauce. At the end, add lemon juice.
