The other day when I cooked ‘Oven-Baked Cajun Style Dirty Rice’, I ended up having some leftover Chicken Livers. I decided to make Chicken Liver Pâté using the leftover. I found lots of recipes on the internet and I was discouraged to try those recipes. First of all, many of those recipes require a lot …
This dirty looking Oven-Baked Rice is made with Chicken Giblets (Gizzards and Livers). I think Livers make the dirty colour. It is actually delicious and you know Gizzards and Livers are cheap. It is not hard to make, but you need to work fair bit to prepare Gizzards and Livers. Serve with a refreshing salad. …
