Balinese Spiced Liver Recipes

Ingredients :

2 small onions, grated

1 clove garlic, crushed

1/4 tsp ground turmeric

1/2 tsp brown sugar

pinch ground black pepper

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 bay leaf

1 tsp finely chopped chili

1 tbsp peanut butter

juice of half a lemon

500g chicken livers, sliced

1 cup coconut milk

garnish - 8 wedges of tomato, 12 wedges of cucumber

Method :

Mix all the ingredients, except the chicken livers and coconut milk, to make a soft paste. If the paste is too thick, add a little water. It should have the consistency of yoghurt. In a saucepan, bring the paste to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring frequently for 5 minutes. Add the chicken livers and cook, stirring gently, until the livers change color. Add the coconut milk and slowly bring the mixture to the boil, stirring constantly. Then reduce heat and simmer for approximately 5 minutes until the mixture thickens. Serve hot on a bed of boiled brown rice. Garnish with wedges of tomato and cucumber.

Liver should be prepared and eaten the same day. It's one of the richest sources of iron.

Serves 4 - 6
