Ginataang Atay ng Manok, Chicken Liver in Coconut Milk

Ginataang Atay ng Manok
Ginataang Atay ng Manok. I started to work as a technician, at that time fast food was not yet around. We take our lunch breaks at our canteen usually manage by some labor union official or at makeshift carinderias that are always located near the company gate’s. Adobong Atay ng Manok will mostly if not always present on the food choices, for the reason that it is cheap, but the main reason of course is it is one of the favorite viand for most workers. To these day I am always tempted to order Adobong Atay or any Pinoy food with chicken liver that is in the menu whenever we or I ate out in a Filipino Restaurant.

Chicken Liver in Coconut Milk

Our Ginataang Atay ng Manok is inspired from a carinderia Ginataang Atay ng Manok that I regularly had on my lunch breaks during my early working days. To some it may be unappealing, but it is yummy, tangy, creamy and spicy hot that can go with a lot of steaming hot rice.

Here is the recipe of my Ginataang Atay ng Manok.

Ingredients:

1/2 kilo chicken liver, cut into serving pieces
1 can canned coconut cream
1/2 head garlic, crushed
1/3 cup vinegar
1/3 cup soy sauce
1 tsp. peppercorns, lightly crushed
2-3 pcs. long red chili, chopped
2-3 bay leaf
salt
cooking oil
