✨ Dinner goals unlocked.
Chicken livers, but make it next level:
✅ caramelized onions
✅ tangy pickles
✅ sweet prunes
✅ soft veggies in herby glazeThis sweet-sour-salty combo hits every corner of the flavor map. Comfort food with a twist—and yes, it's even better the next day (if there's any left 😉).
