Risotto with Chicken Liver
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Risotto is quite a standalone dish and doesn't require any side dishes. However, what to serve it with is entirely up to us. For example, as someone who enjoys chicken offal, I prepare risotto with chicken liver at home. In my opinion, this addition doesn't spoil the taste at all—in fact, it makes the flavor brighter and more interesting. Besides, this risotto recipe with chicken liver should appeal to most people, as the combination of ingredients is quite familiar to us. The finished dish can now be served.

Now we simmer the broth over low heat so that it stays hot. Pour a couple of ladles of broth into a saucepan and wait for the liquid to evaporate, then add more hot broth, repeating this process until the rice is cooked. During this entire time, the rice needs to be stirred almost constantly.

Step 8
While the rice is cooking, place a pan over heat and melt the remaining butter in it. Add the chicken liver and fry for 3 minutes. Once the liver changes color, pour in the wine (from the mushrooms) and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.

Step 9
When the rice is cooked (it should be soft, yet slightly firm inside) and has a creamy consistency, season it with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle half of the grated Parmesan over the rice, mix well, and divide the dish among plates. Place a few pieces of liver on top of the rice, and sprinkle the risotto with Parmesan once again.
