  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • small knob of butter
  • 450g pack chicken livers , cut into bite-size pieces
  • 125ml glass oloroso sherry
  • juice of ½ a lemon
  • 120g bag rocket salad

  • 3 tbsp blanched hazelnuts

Instruction

  • Put all the ingredients for the sauce into a food processor, then whizz to a rough paste. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Put the remaining hazelnuts onto a baking sheet, roast for 5 mins until lightly toasted, roughly chop, then set aside.
  • Now make the salad – add the olive oil and butter to a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Quickly fry the livers in 2 batches until browned, about 2 mins per batch. Add the sherry, then bubble for a few mins over a high heat. Stir in the sauce and allow it to thicken and heat through. Splash in the lemon juice, then season to taste. Dress the salad leaves with a little sherry vinegar. Spoon the livers and sauce onto serving plates, sprinkle with the toasted chopped hazelnuts, then scatter over the dressed salad leaves and serve straightaway.
