RECIPE DETAILS

Ingredients

  • medium carrots - 4 units

  • apples - 2 units

  • water - 0.25 cup

  • eggs - 6 units

  • ground chicken - 3 pounds

  • chicken livers - 6 ounces

  • sunflower seed oil - 3 tablespoons

  • baby spinach leaves - 4 cups


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Place carrots, apples, and water into a pot. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until soft (10 to 15 minutes).

  3. Meanwhile, crack eggs into a bowl and set aside.

  4. Place eggshells onto a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven until dry (5 to 7 minutes).

  5. Remove eggshells from the oven and pulverize using a mortar and pestle or a coffee grinder.

  6. Combine ground chicken, chicken livers, reserved eggs, ground eggshells, and sunflower oil in a large skillet.

  7. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and crumbly and the livers are no longer pink (5 to 7 minutes).

  8. Place spinach on top of the meat mixture, cover with a lid, and steam until soft (about 5 minutes).

  9. Mash softened carrots and apples in a bowl with a potato masher and add to the meat mixture.

  10. Mix until well combined.
