Tanew river

I am so happy…

Maciej and I going to the woods.

Tanew river at the Roztocze National Park.

After some time spent in Kraków we decided to go to Zamość. Thanks to Maciejs best friend, Bartek I saw Roztocze National Park for the first time.

The weather was beautiful, so we were able to hike in the woods, do some sightseeing and eat my first ice cream this year.

Oh, I forgot to tell you! I bought new glasses. I hope you like them.

Fresh herbs and chicken livers are very good combination.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter

115 g rindless streaky bacon, diced

250g frozen chicken livers, thawed, drained and diced

2 garlic clowes

2 tsp chopped fresh sage

300g dried farfalle / rotini (You can choose your favorite pasta)

2/3 cup dry white wine

4 ripe Italian plum tomatoes, diced

1 tbsp chopped fresh flat leaf parsley

salt and ground pepper

Preparation:

1. Melt half the butter in a medium skillet or soucepan, add the bacon and fry over a medium heat for few minutes until it is lightly coloured but not crisp.

2. Add the chicken livers, garlic, half the sage and plenty of pepper. Increase the heat and toss the livers for about 5 minutes, until they change colour all over. Meanwhile, start cooking the pasta according to the instructions on the packet.

3.Pour the wine over the chicken livers in the pan and let it sizzle, then lower the heat and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Add the remaining butter to the pan. As soon as it has melted, add the diced tomatoes, toss to mix, then add the remaining sage and the parsley. Stir well. Taste and add salt if needed.

4. Drain the pasta and tip into a warmed bowl. Pour the souce over and toss well. Serve immediately.
