Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
Number of servings: 4

Ingredients:
- 500 g fresh chicken liver
- 2-3 cloves of garlic (to taste)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 30 ml wine (white or red, depending on preference)
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (or fresh if available)
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
- Salt, to taste

Step-by-step preparation:

1. Washing the livers: Start by washing the chicken livers well under cold running water. It is essential to remove any impurities or remaining blood. After washing, let them drain in a colander to eliminate excess water.

2. Preparing the garlic: Peel the garlic cloves and slice them thinly or chop them finely, depending on how flavorful you want the dish to be. Garlic adds an intense and delicious flavor that perfectly complements the livers.

3. Heating the oil: In a large skillet or Dubletta pot, add the 3 tablespoons of olive oil and heat it over medium heat. Olive oil not only adds flavor but also provides a smooth texture to the livers.

4. Sautéing the livers: When the oil is hot, add the chicken livers. Fry them for about 5-7 minutes, turning them occasionally to brown evenly. The livers are done when they become opaque and change color.

5. Adding spices: Once the livers are sautéed, add the sliced garlic, bay leaf, thyme, and pepper. Mix well to distribute the flavors. Let everything cook for another 2-3 minutes until the garlic turns golden and releases its aroma.

6. Deglazing with wine: Pour the 30 ml of wine over the livers. This will help release the flavors from the skillet and create a delicious sauce. Let it reduce for 5-7 minutes over low heat until the sauce becomes more concentrated.

7. Finishing the dish: Add salt to taste and mix well. Taste the dish and adjust the seasonings if necessary. The livers are ready to serve!

Serving:
Chicken livers Dubletta are usually served alongside warm polenta and garlic sauce, which perfectly complements the intense flavors of the dish. If you prefer, you can opt for side dishes like mashed potatoes or fried potatoes that can absorb the delicious sauce.

Presentation suggestions: Arrange the livers on a platter, sprinkle with a little chopped fresh parsley for a vibrant look, and add a few slices of lemon for a touch of freshness.

Chicken livers are an excellent source of protein, vitamins A, B12, and minerals such as iron, which helps in the formation of red blood cells. They are also low in calories, making them a healthy option for a balanced meal.
