Chicken Liver Crostini

A totally Italian antipasta is Crostini - toasted bread. In Le Marche crostini con fegatini di pollo chicken liver is a must!

Normally I am not a big fan of liver, but this recipe comes out delicious.

Serves 4-6
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 carrot, chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped
6 chicken livers, trimmed
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
scant 1/2 cup dry white wine
2 egg yolks
juice of 1 lemon, strained
4-6 whole-wheat bread slices, lightly toasted
salt & pepper

Heat the olive oil in a skillet.  Add the carrot, onion and celery and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.  Dip the chicken livers into the vinegar, pat dry with paper towels and add to skilled.  Pour in the wine and season with salt & pepper.  Cook, stirring frequently, until browned.  Remove the chicken livers from the skillet and chop finely, then return them to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes more.  Beat together the egg yolks and lemon juice in a bowl.  Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the egg yolk mixture.  Spread on slices of lightly toasted bread.
Serve immediately.
