Fresh endive and seared chicken liver salad with white balsamic caramalised shallots and toasted pumpkinseeds

By Abigail Donnelly
4
Easy
20 minutes
8 to 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 200 g pumpkinseeds
  • 2 T balsamic vinegar
  • 4 shallots, peeled
  • 60 g butter
  • 1 cup white balsamic vinegar
  • 2 x 250 g tub free-range chicken livers
  • freshly ground black pepper, for seasoning
  • 4 fresh Witloof chicory bulbs, rinsed and separated into leaves
  • 1 x 150 g tub bocconcini

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Scatter the pumpkinseeds onto a greased baking tray or silicone mat and toss in the balsamic vinegar, until evenly coated.

Bake for 5 to 10 minutes, or until toasted and sticky. Remove and leave to cool.

Slice the shallots into medium sized rounds.  Fry in 30 g butter and the white balsamic vinegar, until slightly golden and caramelised.

Heat the remaining butter in a pan over a medium to high heat.

Pan-fry the chicken livers, with a crack of black pepper, for 5 to 8 minutes, or until just cooked through.

Pile the chicory leaves into a stack. Top with the fresh bocconcini, caramelised shallots and warm chicken livers.

Drizzle over the remaining white balsamic and shallot-reduced vinegar.

Serve scattered with the crunchy balsamic-toasted pumpkin seeds.
