Here is a recipe that will have most of you clicking away but I am feeling brave and posting it anyway because, when my brother and I were little, we used to beg my mother to make Thermomix Chicken Liver Rice for us and now my daughter loves it and eats it so well.

Notes
I used to prepare this Chicken Liver Rice on the stove but nowadays it is just so easy with the Thermomix.
If you still are puzzled by the word Thermomix (despite me going endlessly about it), make sure you read more about it (just bear in mind that was my first Thermomix, they've changed a lot!), I really like the TM5 and TM6 too. Make sure you also check out all my Thermomix Recipes.
And, if you are considering buying one or already own one and are based in the UK, don't forget to join my Thermo Cooking UK with Feisty Tapas group on Facebook.
Can I make this Chicken Liver Rice in my Instant Pot?
I have to say that I have indeed tried this dish in the Instant Pot and the chicken livers exploded so it's one that for now I stick to making in the Thermomix.
That said, I do have Instant Pot recipes that you can make with arborio risotto rice.
Two delicious risottos in fact:
Maria, have you got any other Thermomix recipes using arborio rice?
Yes I do!
This one is a favourite in fact:
Serves as many as you'd like really, just increase amounts proportionally
How to serve
It's great on its own as a main dish. Really nice with some steamed vegetables or a simple, fresh salad on the side.
Variations
You can add a bit of tomato purée or a tablespoon of chopped tomatoes, I tend to add it when I remember but it can be added either in step 3 or step 4 really.
Great also with some fresh spinach leaves stirred in at the end. They will wilt quickly.
Tip
Add a few drops of Worcestershire sauce if you would like to enhance the flavour.

This is such a favourite in our house.
It’s also a great way to sneak a load of vegetables into those in the family who think they don’t like them!
Such a delicious, filling dish & so easy. 😋
