Chicken liver roll – a savory delight, perfect for a festive meal or a special dinner. This quick and easy recipe is sure to become a family favorite. Here’s how to prepare this delicious roll, step by step.

Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 45 minutes
Total: 1 hour and 15 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients:

- 1 chicken breast (approximately 500g)
- 200g chicken liver
- 3-4 medium onions
- 1 large carrot
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 eggs
- 100g breadcrumbs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 bunch fresh parsley (optional)
- Plastic wrap for rolling

Preparation:

1. Preparing the liver: In a pan, add a tablespoon of olive oil and the chicken liver. Pour in the 3 tablespoons of water and season with salt and pepper. Cook the liver over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the water evaporates and the liver is well cooked but not dry. This step is essential for achieving tender and flavorful liver. Once the liver is ready, let it cool, then cut it into small cubes.

2. Sautéing the onions: In the same pan, add the remaining oil and sauté the finely chopped onions. Cook them until they become translucent and slightly golden. This will add depth of flavor to your roll. If desired, you can also add the grated carrot for extra sweetness and color.

3. Preparing the mixture: In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken breast, chicken liver, sautéed onions, and carrot. Add the 2 eggs and breadcrumbs, mixing well. Make sure all ingredients are well incorporated. You can also add chopped parsley for an extra touch of freshness.

4. Forming the roll: Lay out a piece of plastic wrap on your work surface. Place the mixture on the wrap and shape it into a roll, making sure to wrap it tightly. Twist the ends to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.

5. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Place the roll in a baking dish and add a little water to the bottom of the dish to maintain moisture during baking. Bake the roll for 45 minutes, until it is golden and well cooked.

6. Serving: Once the roll is ready, let it cool slightly before unwrapping it from the plastic. Slice and serve it alongside a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad. A personal touch I suggest is to serve it with a sour cream and dill sauce, which will perfectly complement the flavors.

Helpful tips:
- Make sure the liver is fresh for a more intense flavor and better taste.
- You can experiment with various spices like thyme or garlic to give your recipe a twist.
- If you prefer a vegetarian alternative, you can replace the liver with sautéed mushrooms and the chicken breast with tofu.
- This roll can also be prepared a day in advance and is easy to reheat in the oven.

Now that you have the complete recipe, all that’s left is to get cooking! The chicken liver roll is a delicious and satisfying choice, perfect for any occasion. Enjoy!
