Ingredients

• 500 grams chicken livers
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 medium carrots
• 2 stalks celery stalks
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 750 milliliters low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
• 1 leaf bay leaf
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 100 grams baby spinach
• 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the ingredients. Rinse the chicken livers under cold water, pat them dry with paper towels, and cut them into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Chop the onion and garlic cloves finely. Peel and slice the carrots into rounds. Chop the celery stalks and red bell pepper into small pieces.

Step 3

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing them for about 5 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 4

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken livers to the pot. Cook the livers for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are browned on all sides.

Step 5

Add the carrots, celery, and red bell pepper to the pot. Stir well and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly.

Step 6

Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and add the fresh thyme, bay leaf, and black pepper. Stir to combine all ingredients.

Step 7

Bring the stew to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it cook for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

After 20 minutes, remove the bay leaf. Stir in the baby spinach and soy sauce, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until the spinach wilts and the stew is heated through.

Step 9

Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat and let it sit for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the hearty liver stew hot, garnished with fresh thyme if desired. Enjoy this nutritious and heart-healthy dish!
