Chicken Livers in Chipotle Sauce Serves 4 Put the unpeeled tomatoes, garlic, and chilies into a blender jar and blend until almost smooth; there should be a little texture to the sauce.
Set aside.
Trim the livers of any connective tissue and any greenish spots from the bile duct; cut each one into six parts.
Heat the fat in a frying pan, add the liver pieces and onion, sprinkle lightly with salt, and fry, tossing them almost constantly - a stir-fry if you will- for about 3 minutes over high heat.
Add the blended ingredients and, still over high heat, cook for about 5 minutes or until the sauce has reduced and seasoned.
Adjust seasoning.
