How to prepare Risotto with chicken livers

First, wash and clean the onion, celery stalk, and carrot 1, prepare a mix and set it aside. Remove excess fat and any gall sacs from the livers and chop them coarsely 2. In a saucepan, melt the butter together with the sage leaves 3.

Add the livers to the butter and brown for 5-6 minutes; after the livers are well browned, add half a glass of wine and let it evaporate (4-5). Meanwhile, in another saucepan, sauté the prepared onion, carrot, and celery mix with the oil 6.

Brown in this case as well, then add the rice 7. Toast the rice and let it cook, occasionally sprinkling it with a ladle of chicken broth 8. Meanwhile, the livers will have cooked, so turn off the heat and remove the sage leaves 9.

When the rice is halfway through cooking, add the livers 10 and let everything cook together, always sprinkling with the broth and stirring to mix everything well 11. Once cooked, stir the liver risotto with Grana Padano, a knob of butter, let it rest for a few minutes, and serve at the table.
