Ingredients

250g chicken livers

2 shallots , finely chopped

large handful flatleaf parsley , leaves very roughly chopped

1 tbsp capers , rinsed and drained, roughly chopped

2 tbsp olive oil

3 tbsp sherry vinegar

4 slices nice bread , such as sourdough

1 tbsp plain flour

large pinch cayenne pepper

Method

Pick over the livers, cutting away any fatty bits and sinew, then pat the livers dry. Place the shallot, parsley and capers into a bowl and drizzle with half the olive oil and 1 tbsp of the Sherry vinegar.

Toast the bread (preferably on a griddle but a toaster is fine). Toss the livers in the flour and cayenne pepper, and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat the rest of the oil in a frying pan and fry the livers over a really high heat for 4-5 mins until brown and crisp on the outside and cooked, but still a little pink in the middle. Splash remaining vinegar into the pan and bubble down for 1 min.

Tip the contents of the pan in with the shallot and parsley, toss everything together, season to taste, then pile onto the toasted bread. Season with a little crunchy sea salt and serve.
