Crostini con Fegatini

🌍 Italian, Tuscany Difficulty: ●●●○○

This is the real Tuscan liver spread, not the bowdlerized versions found abroad. The livers must stay pink at the centre when you blend them. The capers and anchovies give backbone — without them the paste turns bland and livery.

Ingredients

• 8 chicken livers, cleaned
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 tbsp capers
• 4 anchovy fillets
• 100ml vin santo or white wine
• 50g butter
• 8 baguette slices, toasted

Method

1. Sautéing — Sauté onion in butter until soft.
2. Adding — Add livers, cook until just pink inside.
3. Adding — Add wine, reduce by half.
4. Blending — Blend livers with capers and anchovies to a rough paste.
5. Spreading — Spread on toasted crostini.
