The history of chicken livers is rich, being a popular choice over the years due to their delicate texture and intense flavor. Additionally, the dish is often associated with family meals, making it a wonderful way to gather loved ones around the table.

Necessary ingredients:
- 300 g chicken livers
- 1 large onion
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 green bell pepper
- 3 medium potatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 sprig of fresh rosemary
- 100 ml white wine
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying

Step 1: Preparing the livers
Start by washing the chicken livers under cold running water. Make sure to remove any membranes or impurities. Once cleaned, cut them into evenly sized pieces for even cooking. Set them aside for later use.

Step 2: Preparing the vegetables
Peel the onion and garlic. Slice the onion into julienne strips and the garlic into thin rounds. Wash the bell peppers and cut them into strips, also julienne. These vegetables will not only add flavor to the dish but also provide a crunchy texture.

Step 3: Cooking the livers and vegetables
In a large skillet, add 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add the livers and cook until golden on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Then, add the onion and bell peppers, continuing to cook for 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 4: Flavoring
Once the livers and vegetables have taken on a nice color, add the rosemary, salt, and pepper to taste. Pour the white wine into the skillet and let it simmer gently so the flavors can combine. This step will add a special taste to the dish and create a delicious sauce.

Step 5: Finishing the dish
After the wine has reduced, add the garlic and tomato paste. Mix well and let simmer on low heat for another 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the livers are fully cooked.

Step 6: Potato garnish
While the livers are cooking, boil the potatoes in salted water. Once cooked, let them cool slightly, then peel and slice them into rounds. In another skillet, add a little butter and a sprig of rosemary, then fry the potatoes until golden and crispy.

Serving:
Arrange the chicken livers with vegetables on a platter, alongside the fried potato garnish. You can decorate the plate with a few sprigs of fresh rosemary for an extra touch of color and flavor. This dish pairs perfectly with a fresh green salad or a serving of mashed potatoes, and a glass of white wine will complement the meal beautifully.

Useful tips:
- If you want a spicier version, you can add chili flakes during cooking.
- Substitute chicken livers with beef liver for a more intense flavor.
- Store the livers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days, and if you want to prepare them in advance, you can freeze them.
