How about a savory dish of sauteed livers with bacon, mushrooms, and onion over linguini, finished with fresh parsley and parmesan?
1 pint chicken livers, cleaned
1/2 pound bacon
1 medium onion
1/2 cup cooking sherry
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons sweet butter
1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 dash sweet hungarian paprika
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
3/4 pound linguine or fettuccine, cooked al dente
grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Fry the bacon in a pan until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towel.
Place the vegetable oil in a non-stick large pan. Add the onion slices into the pan and saute until the onions become translucent.
Add the chicken livers into the pan and cook until the livers show no signs of blood. Add in the seasoning, mushrooms and sherry. Continue cooking, tossing frequently until the mushrooms begin to soften.
Re-season if necessary. Reduce the sauce so that it thickens slightly.
Place the cooked pasta in the bottom of a large pasta bowl. Toss the pasta with the butter to coat evenly.
Pour the chicken livers and its sauce over the center of the pasta. Break the crisp bacon into bite size pieces and place them over the livers. Sprinkle the entire serving dish including the edges of the dish with some more of the freshly chopped parsley and grated Parmesan, if desired.
Serve immediately with hot Italian bread and your favorite red wine.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.

I'll be the first to admit I despise liver(beef or calves liver to be exact). I made this recipe with the chicken livers because I love them fried go figure! This is one of the best dinner recipes I've tasted. I did fry them instead of saute'ing them, wonderful wonderful wonderfull! Will definitely be making this dish more often. Thankyou...

MAGNIFICENT! If you know me, you KNOW that I always strive to make meals which are low in fat, sodium, & carbs. That being said, I will cast all that to the wind, and will definitely make this dish, since we LOVE chicken livers. I know we'll love it, and hey, ...once in a while won't kill us! Thanks!
