I adore cooking with and eating offal; sadly, it is not more popular. This easy chicken liver stew recipe combines them with peas and mushrooms in a wonderful red wine sauce.

Cut the shallot in half, peel it and then dice it as finely as you can.
Peel the garlic and chop it as finely as you can.
Clean up your mushrooms, and if they are larger than bite-sized, cut them in half or quarters.
Now trim up your chicken livers, removing any sinew and cut them up into 2-2.5cm (¾-1") pieces.
Heat a 30cm or 12" frying pan over a medium-high heat and add the butter. When it foams, add the shallot and cook for 2 minutes without colouring; stir occasionally.
Add in the garlic and saute for another minute.
Throw in the mushrooms, season with the salt and pepper, then coók stirring occasionally for 2-3 minutes.
Turn the heat up to high, add in the tomato puree and chicken livers, then saute for 2-3 minutes.
Pour in the wine and reduce by half; this should take 3 or 4 minutes.
Add 1 tablespoon of water to the cornstarch and mix.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the peas to the pan, followed by the cornstarch slurry and cook, stirring for a minute or two.
