Ingredients

  • 1 pound Chicken Liver, cleaned and chopped
  • 1 medium Onion, sliced
  • 1 medium Bell Pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium Tomato, chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Cooking Oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 4 servings Ugali (Cornmeal Porridge)

Instructions

  1. 1Cut the 1 pound of cleaned chicken liver into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces. Slice the 1 medium onion and the 1 medium bell pepper into 1/4-inch (0.6 cm) thick strips. Chop the 1 medium tomato into 1/2-inch (1.25 cm) pieces and mince the 2 cloves of garlic.
  2. 2Heat the 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, reaching approximately 375°F (190°C), until the oil shimmers slightly.
  3. 3Add the 1 pound of chopped chicken liver to the hot skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the liver is browned on the outside and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C); the pieces should feel firm and no longer appear pink inside.
  4. 4Add the 1 medium sliced onion, the 1 medium sliced bell pepper, and the 2 cloves of minced garlic to the skillet with the cooked liver. Stir-fry for 5 minutes, until the onion and bell pepper have softened slightly and the garlic is fragrant.
  5. 5Add the 1 medium chopped tomato to the skillet. Continue to cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomato has softened, then stir in the 1/2 teaspoon of salt and the 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
  6. 6Remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the chicken liver stir-fry immediately alongside the 4 servings of Ugali (Cornmeal Porridge).
