About the recipe

Chicken livers are fantastic value. You can pick them up at the supermarket or the butcher’s – they add the most wonderful flavour, and simply braised in this delicious ragù, with lentils to add a bit of bulk, they will give you a rustic, Bolognese-style sauce. It’s sweet, it’s tender and around spaghetti it’s just wonderful.
