Italian Style Chicken Livers With Orzo - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb chicken liver, rinsed and dried
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup dry white wine or 3/4 cup vermouth
1 teaspoon italian seasoning (or 1/2 tsp each basil and oregano, and a pinch of rosemary)
salt and pepper
3/4 3/4 cup acini di pepe pasta or 3/4 cup other small shaped pasta
parmesan cheese, if desired

Preparation

Cook pasta according to package directions.
Drain and set aside.
In a skillet, heat olive oil.
Add onion and garlic and cook until soft.
Add chicken livers in a single layer and saute until firm, about 10 minutes, turning once.
Add wine and seasonings.
Cover and simmer on LOW heat about 5-10 minutes, or until livers are no longer pink inside.
Uncover and continue to simmer until wine is reduced by half.
Toss with pasta, warm through, and serve immediately with parmesan cheese if desired.
(NOTE) This recipe just evolved, and I usually do not measure, so proportions are approximate.
Add more or less wine if desired, and if it seems like too much pasta, then don't add it all.
I'd taste it first before you add the cheese.
You might like it without.
