Preparation time:
- Preparation time: 15 minutes
- Cooking time: 20 minutes
- Total time: 35 minutes
- Servings: 2

Ingredients:
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, sliced
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- 300 g chicken liver, cleaned and cut into smaller pieces
- 2 teaspoons butter
- 50 ml white wine
- 3 eggs
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Paprika, to taste
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 bunch of fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 bunch of fresh chives, chopped (optional)
- Cooking cream or butter, for frying (optional)

Preparation:

1. Cook the chicken liver: In a pan, melt the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sliced garlic, sautéing until they become soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- *Helpful tips*: Make sure not to let them burn, as the bitter taste of burnt garlic can ruin the dish.

2. Add the liver: Place the pieces of liver in the pan and fry for 5-7 minutes until they change color. If desired, you can add the white wine to enhance the flavors. Cover the pan with a lid and let it simmer on low heat for 5 minutes.
- *Tip*: The white wine not only enhances the taste but also helps tenderize the liver.

3. Season: Before removing from heat, add salt, pepper, paprika, and the chopped parsley. Mix well to combine the ingredients. Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

4. Prepare the omelette: In a bowl, beat the eggs together with the milk, adding salt and pepper to taste. You can also include chopped fresh chives for added flavor.
- *Suggestion*: If you prefer a fluffier omelette, you can beat the eggs more to incorporate air.

5. Fry the omelette: In a non-stick pan, melt the butter or cooking cream. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and fry on low heat, being careful not to burn it. When the bottom is well cooked, flip the omelette using a spatula.
- *Note*: A well-cooked omelette will be slightly firmer but will keep the filling juicy.

6. Fill the omelette: Once the omelette is ready, carefully transfer it to a plate. Add the chicken liver mixture on top and roll or fold the omelette in half.
- *Serving suggestion*: You can serve it with a fresh green salad drizzled with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
