I chose to start with liver, a protein that has an old-fashioned connotation for many. With a few minor changes, liver can be elevated and transformed into a dish that contemporary restaurants find worthy of adding to their menus.

Ingredients

Liver Mousse

  • oil, such as Gefen Canola Oil, for frying

  • 2 yellow onions, sliced

  • 1 and 1/2 pounds (680 grams) chicken liver, coarsely chopped

  • 1/2 cup cold margarine, cut into a few pieces

Garnish

  • 1 12-ounce (340-gram) jar fig jam

  • 1/4 cup Tuscanini Red Wine Vinegar (less if you don’t like it too acidic)

  • 1 cup whole peeled, unsalted pistachios, ground to a crumble

  • pickled onions

  • figs, sliced into quarters

  • blueberries

  • microgreens (optional)

  • chili oil (optional)

Directions

Prepare the Liver Mousse

1.

Heat the oil in a frying pan on a medium-low flame. Add the onions and sauté until golden and soft but not browned.

2.

Blend liver, onions, and chicken stock in a blender. As the ingredients purée, add the margarine to emulsify. When fully mixed, add salt to taste. If needed, add more chicken stock until you’ve reached your preferred consistency.

3.

Transfer the mousse to a container and refrigerate.

Prepare Fig Sauce

1.

Place the jam and red wine vinegar in a small pot. Boil until the jam thickens a bit.

2.

Let cool, then transfer to a squeeze bottle.

To Plate

1.

Put the liver mousse in a piping bag and squeeze onto the plate. Add pistachio crumble and droplets of fig sauce to the plate.

2.

Garnish with a few blueberries, quartered figs, and pickled onions. Add microgreens and chili oil, if using.

3.

Shown here are a few plating suggestions.

Tips:

Avoid topping the liver with the garnish. It’s best to keep the liver clean.
