Last summer, while in Italy, I had it all the time. Growing up in Brasil, where chicken liver is widely served, my mom frequently served me and my siblings chicken liver with rice and beans so I grew up loving chicken liver. Liver is delicious and is packed with vitamin A and iron. It is also a complete protein containing all of the essential amino acids. For anyone requiring extra iron in their diet, this is this is a real power food because it contains folate, iron and vitamin B12.

When I saw Chicken Liver Crostini on the menu at the restaurants in Italy I had to give it a try. One taste took me back home, to my childhood and to that familiar feeling of mom’s homemade chicken liver. I usually enjoy my Chicken Liver Crostini with a nice glass of red wine. If you want to get really Italian, try it with a little Bruschetta topping. The fresh tomatoes wake up the flavor of the livers and give the presentation some color.

I hope you give this delicious Chicken Liver Crostini a try. I promise you won’t be disappointed!
