Another Exotic Dish: Roasted Chicken Liver with Veggies

Are you one of those who wrinkle their noses in disgust when somebody mentions a chicken liver recipe? I am a bit adventurous when it comes to food so eating innards such as liver don’t really bother me. I get disgusted with exotic food if they are creatures though. One thing that I learned is that, if it looks good, it must taste good, too.

When I first cooked this chicken liver dish that I found on the internet, of course, I did not tell my family what it was. Just like with the Braised Oxtail recipe, if they find out it’s something odd such as liver or a tail, they wouldn’t want to try it. That was an accident though, I didn’t notice that they were snooping around as I was bringing out the ingredients. But anyway, they still loved the dish and forgot that it was a tail.

A Healthy Chicken Liver Recipe

Organ meats, such as liver, are actually more nutritious than regular meat muscle. Chicken liver is rich in proteins, dietary fat, and minimum levels of carbohydrates. Among other nutrients, chicken liver is also rich in the following vitamins:

  • Vitamin A
  • B Vitamins – B1, B2, B3, B5, B6
  • Vitamin C
  • Vitamin E
  • Folate

In addition, chicken liver is also rich in minerals such as iron, phosphorus, zinc, calcium, potassium, and magnesium among others. This chicken liver recipe is packed with nutrition especially since it is mixed with vegetables. Plus, the tomato paste adds another healthy component to the diet – lycopene.

However, be careful not to eat too much chicken liver, or any other organ meat. Organ meat is high in purines which may contribute to gout.

Conclusion

What’s great about this dish is that it’s roasted. Roasted food is healthier as compared with those cooked on the stove because it has less oil. It is also juicier as it retains most of the moisture. Plus, veggies won’t be overcooked in the oven.

Not many people like eating organ meat such as chicken liver. The secret is to make the meal as enticing as possible. This Chicken Liver Recipe with Veggies is packed with nutrients and looks good to eat, too!

    This is one of the firsts for my children. I know that liver is packed with nutrients but I could never get my kids to eat it. So one day I tried this without telling them what it is. Until now, they still don’t know it’s liver haha!
