Use a large casserole that can go from the stovetop to the oven. Slice the onion into thin wedges and fry in the butter until soft. Increase the heat and add the chicken livers, herbs, paprika and salt and pepper. Fry the livers until slightly browned and pour in the red wine to deglaze the bottom of the pan. Turn down the heat and stir through the cream, tomato paste, crushed garlic and bay leaf. Transfer the casserole to the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the top of the dish is browned and bubbling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scatter over the chopped parsley and serve the livers hot with crusty bread, lemon wedges and a few glasses of Lutzville Cabernet Sauvignon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paired with Cabernet Sauvignon by East After Noon<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2289,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2288","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-food-wine"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/atableforone.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2288","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/atableforone.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/atableforone.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atableforone.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atableforone.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2288"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/atableforone.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2288\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2290,"href":"https:\/\/atableforone.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2288\/revisions\/2290"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atableforone.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2289"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/atableforone.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2288"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atableforone.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2288"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atableforone.co.za\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2288"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
