Potato stew with liver and peas is a comforting dish, perfect for a family meal. Made with accessible and easy-to-find ingredients, this recipe is sure to become one of your favorites.
Ingredients:
- 500 g potatoes
- 300 g chicken liver (or beef)
- 200 g peas (fresh or frozen)
- 1 large onion
- 2 carrots
- 2 garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- A bunch of fresh dill or parsley for garnish
Preparation:
1. Start by preparing the potatoes. Peel the potatoes, cut them into cubes of about 2-3 cm, and boil them in a large pot of salted water. Let them boil for 15 minutes or until they become soft but not mushy. This is an essential technique to achieve a perfect stew with potatoes that hold their shape.
2. In a large skillet, add the 3 tablespoons of olive oil and heat it over medium heat. Chop the onion finely and add it to the skillet. Sauté the onion for 5 minutes until it becomes translucent. A trick to intensify the flavor of the onion is to cook it on low heat, adding a pinch of salt, which helps to extract the natural juices.
3. Peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds, then add them to the skillet over the onion. Let them sauté together for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adding the chopped garlic at this point will bring an extra flavor.
4. When the onion and carrots are ready, add the chicken liver to the skillet. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are browned and well cooked. Liver is an excellent source of protein and vitamins, and cooking it at the right temperature will ensure a tender texture.
5. After the liver has cooked, add the peas and the drained boiled potatoes. Gently mix everything, adding the sweet paprika, salt, and pepper to taste. Cover the skillet and let it simmer together for 5-10 minutes, so the flavors can combine. If you want a spicy version, you can also add a pinch of hot pepper.
6. Finally, sprinkle some chopped dill or parsley on top for an extra touch of freshness and color.
Serving:
Potato stew with liver and peas is served warm, alongside a fresh green salad or pickles. It is a versatile dish that can easily be adapted; you can replace the liver with chicken meat or even tofu for a vegetarian option.
