Total time: 1 hour
Number of servings: 8-10

Ingredients:

- 12 fresh eggs
- 1 bunch of dill
- 1 bunch of parsley
- 7 large cloves of garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 pinch of baking powder
- 1 kg chicken livers
- 7-8 tablespoons white flour
- 1 jar (400 g) whole mushrooms
- 200 g Delaco cheese (or any cheese of your choice)

Preparing the chicken liver loaf

1. Preparing the livers: Start by washing the chicken livers in several cold waters. This not only cleans them but also helps to remove blood, giving them a more pleasant texture. After washing, let them sit in cold water for 10 minutes to complete this process.

2. Mixing the ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the eggs with a mixer until you achieve a fluffy foam. Add salt, pepper, and baking powder, mixing gently. Gradually incorporate the flour, stirring until you obtain a homogeneous mixture.

3. Adding herbs and garlic: Wash the dill and parsley well, remove the stems, and chop them finely. Peel the garlic cloves, wash them, and crush them. Incorporate both the herbs and garlic into the egg mixture, adding an intense flavor to the loaf.

4. Browning the livers: Drain the livers and brown them in a dry pan, without oil, for about 2 minutes on each side, until they become slightly golden. Place them on a plate with a paper towel to absorb excess juice.

5. Preparing the mushrooms: Remove the mushrooms from the jar, wash them under cold water, then, depending on their size, leave them whole or cut them in halves or quarters.

6. Assembling the loaf: Prepare two loaf pans by greasing them with margarine and lining them with baking paper. Pour a ladle of the egg mixture into each pan, then add the livers cut into large pieces, distributing them evenly. Complete with the remaining egg mixture.

7. Adding cheese and mushrooms: Place two slices of cheese on top of each pan, then add the mushrooms, gently pushing them into the mixture to integrate.

8. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180°C and place the pans inside for about 45 minutes. It is essential not to open the oven door in the first 30 minutes to allow it to rise evenly.

9. Cooling and serving: Once the loaf is ready, take it out of the oven and let it cool slightly. You can serve it warm or at room temperature, sliced. It is delicious alongside a fresh green salad or a garlic yogurt sauce.

Useful tips:

- Livers: Choose fresh chicken livers that are light pink in color. Avoid those that are darker as they may be less juicy.
- Mushrooms: If you prefer fresh mushrooms, use them instead of canned ones. Champignon or oyster mushrooms are excellent for this recipe.
- Vegetarian option: You can replace the livers with sautéed vegetables, such as zucchini or eggplant, for a delicious vegetarian variant.

Nutritional benefits:

This chicken liver loaf is an excellent source of protein due to the eggs and livers, which contain essential nutrients such as iron, vitamin A, and B vitamins. The added herbs not only enhance the flavor but also bring vitamins and antioxidants.

Frequently asked questions:

- Can I use frozen livers? Yes, it is recommended to fully thaw them before preparing to avoid an unpleasant texture.
- How can I customize the recipe? Add spices like sweet paprika or herbs like oregano or thyme for a more intense flavor.
- What can I serve with the loaf? It pairs wonderfully with a dill yogurt sauce, a fresh salad, or even a serving of mashed potatoes.
