Review of last recipe - I guess I had hope that the salad could be a new addition to my repertoire due to the yogurt dressing, but I didn't like the dressing, I usually like my spinach based salads with either a vinaigrette or poppy seed type dressing, and I'm not a big fan of canned tuna, so I guess the chance really was slim.

TODAY'S RECIPE - CHICKEN LIVER AND GOAT CHEESE SALAD
This recipe was clipped out of The Boston Globe and is credited to chef Terence Janericco, who has written a couple of cookbooks and has taught cooking (and continues to do so) for the past 30 years in Boston and in Maine.

Serves 6

1 cup shredded arugula
2 cups shredded romaine
6 slices montrachet or other goat cheese
2 tbsp olive oil
6 whole chicken livers
3 tbsp walnut, hazelnut or olive oil
3 tbsp raspberry vinegar
1/4 tsp salt
pinch of pepper
2 tbsp minced fresh savory or rosemary (optional)

In a bowl, combine the romaine and arugula.  Arrange on six salad plates.  Roll the slices of cheese in olive oil, put in a pie plate and bake at 350 degrees for about 4 minutes (do not let it melt!). 

In the meantime, in a small skillet, saute the chicken livers in the walnut oil until brown, but still pink on the inside.  Remove the livers to a board.  Add the raspberry vinegar to the skillet and bring to a boil, scraping up the brown bits.  Season the sauce with salt and pepper. 

Cut the livers into neat, thin slices.  Arrange the cheese on the plate and sprinkle with the savory.
