Another inspired dish that she dreamt up and quietly collected the ingredients for. She started the marinade the night before and the next day, when I got home from work, got things started. A little cleaning of the liver and heating the pan in order to get a hard sear. I, with nothing to do, started chopping vegetables for a salad. This was not part of the vision and she told me as much, kindly though! I persisted that I thought a dish as rich as chicken liver needed something bright and crisp for balance, and, in the end, won the day.
The liver was seared hard on the cast iron and distributed evenly on the toast. The toast was her sourdough and generously covered in avocado. The salad was baby greens, ribboned carrot, radish, onions, and some hard cheese. The dressing had olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
The verdict was quick and forceful... Wow! That’s different! Neither of us really knew what to expect or, initially, what to think. The second bites were better, and by the end we were discussing trying it again.
As an experience - 8.2/10
