Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider sautéing garlic with the onions and celery. If you don't have chicken broth, vegetable broth can be a great substitute.

If you prefer a thicker sauce, increase the cornstarch gradually until desired consistency is reached.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen chicken livers for this recipe?
Yes, frozen chicken livers can be used, but it's best to thaw them in the refrigerator overnight before cooking. This helps ensure they cook evenly. Once thawed, pat them dry to remove excess moisture, which will improve the final texture of the dish.
What can I substitute for butter in this recipe?
If you're looking for a dairy-free option, olive oil or coconut oil can be excellent substitutes for butter. They will add their own unique flavors to the dish. Margarine can also be used if you prefer a more traditional taste without using butter.
How can I make this dish spicier?
To add some heat, consider incorporating diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce when cooking the vegetables. You can also sprinkle red pepper flakes into the dish while it simmers. Adjust the spice level according to your personal preference for a more robust flavor.
