Ingredients:

  • 1 lb Shiraz Morgh Fresh Chicken Livers
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup dried barberries
  • 1/4 cup dried limes (limoo omani), soaked in water for 30 minutes and pitted

  • 1/2 teaspoon saffron threads (dissolved in 2 tablespoons hot water)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water (or chicken broth)
  • Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Optional: 1 potato, cubed

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Livers: Rinse the Shiraz Morgh Fresh Chicken Livers thoroughly under cold water. Remove any visible fat or connective tissue.
