Method

Main
  • 1
    Brush ciabatta with olive oil and rub with extra halved clove of garlic. Heat char-grill pan, and cook ciabatta for 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
  • 2
    Heat olive oil in a frying pan over high heat, add remaining garlic and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently until garlic is golden. Add chicken livers and anchovy and cook for 2-3 minutes or until livers are browned evenly, then add capers, olives and rosemary and cook for another minute or until livers are nearly cooked through.
