Chicken livers on toast with pomegranate is a Middle Eastern take on the classic dish British of livers and toast. The sweetness of the pomegranate seeds really sings in this dish, and complements the rich and lightly spiced livers so well. Thick slices of fresh sourdough bread make these chicken livers on toast extra special, as the bread soaks up all the flavours from the sauce so well. Chicken livers are a nutritious and good value source of protein that can be used for so much more than just paté.
