Instructions
Infuse the frying oil:
Heat frying pan over medium heat. Add the oil once it is hot, add the aromas (bay, rosemary, cinnamon, geranium) to infuse the oil with their flavours. Let the oil absorb all the flavours by swirling the pan for couple of minutes. Then remove the leaves and sprigs from the pan to continue cooking.
Cook the livers:
At this phase add the chicken liver to the frying pan and fry until browned on all side no pinker colour. It won’t be cooked through completely yet.
Add the spices and mix till everything is coated. Add the tomato puree and mix well. And let it heat through for 2 minutes. Add the Worcestershire sauce and the date molasses and mix it through till everything is combined. Cook for another 3 minutes so the liquid reduces. At this pint if you cut through a chicken liver it should be cooked through.
Final touch:
Mix the garlic, lemon juice and zest with the pomegranate molasses till combined and dissolve and pour over the livers in the pan. Mix a little bit and let it heat through for couple of minutes. When it starts to boil, lower the heat and simmer for just 1 minute. Turn off the heat and set aside to make the sandwiches.
My Serving suggestion:
Open one sandwich bun and remove some of the insides. Spread some garlic paste on both insides. Add some chopped lettuce and tomato and add your chicken liver, then add some sweet potato fries (air fried) and close your sandwich. Toast it little bit in your sandwich grill.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Garlic paste: you can check how to easily prepare the Lebanese garlic paste at home on my Instagram or in the article above. It has a very strong flavour so make sure to add just little bit on your bun and work up your way from there.
Good quality chicken liver: you can find the chicken liver in supermarket but always try to fin a clean source of a trusted butcher to buy from better. They will clean it well so you don’t do a big mess at home and it always better to buy from good clean source. You ca cook them at the same day or the next day maximum. Storage: you can prepare those sandwiches in advance the night before and take them with you to work. And you can also prepare the livers and keep in fridge for up to 4 days and wrap the sandwich when you need to.
