Rustic cherry-glazed chicken livers

Chicken second courses

One night I found myself with a bottle of excellent red wine that had a bright cherry note, and I created this dish to complement the wine. When I'm home alone I try to overcome the temptation to just have a peanut butter sandwich by making something really nice for myself. This dish has become one of my favorites, a nourishing and elegant use of one of the simplest and least expensive of ingredients. Use a good wine in the dish, and pour yourself a glass to have with it. Get the best chicken livers you can find, and if you haven't yet discovered a way to embrace chicken livers, this might just be it. And remember, when you eat alone you're always in good company, and everyone at the table likes the same things you do, so do yourself proud!
