Cooking time: 50 minutes
Total time: 1 hour and 20 minutes
Number of servings: 4

Ingredients:
- 6-8 large pancake sheets (you can use store-bought or homemade pancakes)
- 400 g sliced mushrooms
- 500 g chicken livers
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 50 ml white wine
- Fresh parsley, salt, and pepper to taste

Preparing the pancakes:
To prepare the pancakes, you can use a simple pancake recipe or, for a quick result, you can opt for store-bought pancakes. If you decide to make them at home, mix 250 g of flour, 3 eggs, 500 ml of milk, a tablespoon of sugar, and a pinch of salt. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes, then fry them in a pan, greased with a little oil.

Cooking the livers:
1. In a pot, melt the 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken livers and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they turn slightly golden. Remove them to a plate and set aside.
2. In the same pot, add the finely chopped onion. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until it becomes soft and transparent. This will add a sweet flavor to your dish.
3. Add the sliced mushrooms and continue cooking for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms soften and release their juices.
4. Return the livers to the pot, add salt, pepper, and white wine. Let it simmer on low heat for 30 minutes until the juice reduces and the flavors blend harmoniously.

Finalizing the dish:
1. After the dish has cooked, add the 2 tablespoons of tomato paste and let it boil for 5 minutes. This step will intensify the flavor and color of the sauce.
2. Finally, add the sour cream and finely chopped parsley, mixing well to achieve a creamy and flavorful sauce.

Filling the pancakes:
1. Take a pancake sheet and lightly spread sour cream on one side. Add a portion of the filling with livers and mushrooms, then roll the pancake. Continue filling all the pancakes.
2. Arrange the filled pancakes on a plate and grate smoked cheese on top. This will add a delicious touch of flavor!

Serving:
For a perfect finish, you can place the plate of pancakes in the microwave for 3 minutes to heat them evenly. Serve them hot, as an appetizer or main course, alongside a fresh green salad or grilled vegetables. These pancakes with chicken livers are ideal to be paired with a dry white wine that will perfectly complement the dish's flavor.

Nutritional benefits:
Chicken liver is an excellent source of protein, vitamins B6 and B12, as well as iron, essential for hemoglobin production. Mushrooms provide fiber and antioxidants, while sour cream adds creaminess and flavor. This recipe is not only tasty but also nutritious, perfect for a balanced meal.

Possible variations:
If you want to experiment, you can add different herbs, such as thyme or oregano, while cooking the livers. Additionally, replacing sour cream with Greek yogurt can reduce calories and bring a fresher taste. For a crunchy touch, you can add nuts or toasted seeds on top of the pancakes before serving.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use another type of meat instead of livers?
Absolutely! You can use chicken or turkey meat, but the cooking time will vary.
2. How can I store leftover pancakes?
Wrap them well in plastic wrap and keep them in the fridge for 2-3 days. You can reheat them in the oven or microwave.
3. Can I freeze the filled pancakes?
Yes, you can freeze the filled pancakes. Make sure to let them cool completely and use an airtight container.
