Method

  1. Put all the ingredients for the sauce into a food processor, then whizz to a rough paste. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Put the remaining hazelnuts onto a baking sheet, roast for 5 mins until lightly toasted, roughly chop, then set aside.
  2. Now make the salad - add the olive oil and butter to a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Quickly fry the livers in 2 batches until browned, about 2 mins per batch. Add the Sherry, then bubble for a few mins over a high heat. Stir in the sauce and allow it to thicken and heat through. Splash in the lemon juice, then season to taste. Dress the salad leaves with a little Sherry vinegar. Spoon the livers and sauce onto serving plates, sprinkle with the toasted chopped hazelnuts, then scatter over the dressed salad leaves and serve straightaway.

TIP

If I have time, I like to soak the rocket salad in cold, salted water for half an hour. This keeps the leaves crisp and also seasons them to bring out their flavour

    A really delicious, quick, nutritious and not too expensive recipe which everyone enjoyed and is something a little different. Couldn't find any hot smoked paprika, but it was very good even with standard paprika! We had it for a mid-week supper, but it would certainly be suitable for a posh lunch too. This will surely become a summer favourite with our family.

    My husband was very unsure about this dish but had to admit it was very tasty. I think it was the smokiness of the paprika that made it such a good dish.

    This is SO delicious (much tastier than the chicken livers look). I used unblanched hazelnuts and just grilled them to toast them which was perfect (only 2 minutes and not the whole oven needing to be heated up).
