Chicken Liver and Sage Crostini

These chicken liver and sage crostini offer a sophisticated yet simple way to enjoy a high-protein starter. The richness of the chicken livers is perfectly balanced by the sweet, fortified notes of Madeira and the earthy aroma of fresh sage. Sautéing the sage leaves until crisp provides a delightful textural contrast against the smooth, savoury topping and the crunch of the toasted baguette slices.

Ideal for hosting, this dish works beautifully as a dinner party appetiser or a nutritious snack for those looking to increase their iron intake. The preparation is quick, taking less than fifteen minutes from pan to plate, making it an excellent choice for stress-free entertaining. Serve them warm to fully appreciate the aromatic flavours of the garlic and herbs.

Ingredients for Chicken Liver and Sage Crostini

  • 45ml olive oil

  • 12 medium fresh sage leaves, thinly sliced, plus 1 teaspoon chopped sage

  • 80g finely chopped red onion

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

How to make Chicken Liver and Sage Crostini

Line plate with paper towels. Heat oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced sage; sauté until crisp, about 30 seconds. Using slotted spoon, transfer sauteed sage to paper towels. Add onion to same skillet; sauté until golden, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, chopped liver, and 1 teaspoon chopped sage. Stir until liver is no longer red, about 3 minutes. Increase heat to high, add Madeira, and cook until wine has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add salt and pepper. Divide liver mixture among baguette slices. Top with sautéed sage. Serve crostini on bed of fresh sage leaves, if desired.
