Lebanese Poultry Livers

In the Lebanese mezzes, we are often offered these delicious chicken livers. There are several recipes, but I decided on this one because it includes everything  I like, lemon, honey, flat leaf parsley and cilantro. The only difficulty is to find the main spice, the summac! But in specialized stores or Lebanese caterers you can get it.

For those who live in Paris, I advise you to check my“Mes Adresses” section to find the grocery stores that sell summac (or sumac, summak…)!
