Creamy Chicken Liver and Mushroom Toasts

Pan
serves 4

This sits somewhere between a quick supper and a bistro-style starter. Chicken livers are browned quickly, then folded into a creamy mushroom sauce with garlic, thyme, and a little stock.

Serve it over thick toast and let the sauce run into the bread. It is rich, earthy, and properly satisfying.
