Ingredients
A rich offal preparation with Marsala depth, savory onion base, and classic Tuscan accompaniments.
Base recipe = 2 servings.
454 g chicken livers
300 g jumbo yellow onion
250 g Yukon Gold potato
300 g artichoke (cleaned)
300 ml Marsala wine
240 ml chicken demi-glace
18 g egg yolk
60 g Parmigiano Reggiano
30 ml olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Method
Clean the chicken livers carefully and sauté the onions until soft and golden.
Add the livers and cook until their liquid evaporates and the flavor concentrates.
Deglaze with Marsala and reduce to build sweetness and depth.
Poach the artichoke gently under olive oil and steam the potatoes, seasoning them well.
Reduce the demi-glace with Marsala, then gently incorporate the egg yolk and Parmigiano over a double boiler to create a rich finish.
Plate the fricasse with the rosemary potatoes and olive-poached artichoke.
Chef’s Note: The key to this dish is balance: the livers should stay tender, the Marsala should reduce without becoming too sweet, and the final enrichment with yolk and Parmigiano should stay silky and controlled.
