chicken livers?

[kindkit]

Anybody have any good recipes for chicken livers? I like them, but I do find them rather strong, so recipes that tone down their flavor or balance it out with spices, etc. are especially welcome. Also, I'm not looking for recipes that call for wine, just because wine is expensive and I don't want to have to buy it (I do have sherry on hand, though--I keep it in the fridge and cook with it).



ETA: Thanks for the suggestions, and please do keep making them! In return, let me share this yummy sounding recipe I just found: Thai stir-fried chicken liver with spinach.

I think I've only ever eaten livers deep-fried, or pan-fried with onions. I never even thought about doing other things! Huh. I wonder what I've been missing?

My sister used to make somehing like this recipe, only without the nuts: http://lynnescountrykitchen.net/app/baconliver.html

How do you feel about pate? Which is served cold? And is spreadable?

It's not a cooking suggestion, per se, but I like chicken livers dipped in ranch dressing. I like the flavor combination. The dressing sort of softens the flavor.

This reminds me, I haven't had liver in forever. Nobody else in the household likes it, and it's too much to cook it just for me.

Chopped liver! I was raised on the kind with chicken fat (schmaltz) and hard boiled eggs, which not only stretches it out but makes the flavor less strong. In my non-vegetarian days, I made a nice pate with bacon, chopped onion, and a bunch of parsley thrown in the blender with cooked chicken livers and a shot of bourbon--if you have sherry in the fridge already, though...

And chicken liver pate is a classic crostino, the bread tames the strong flavor.
