Old-school chicken liver parfait
Chicken livers are often forgotten these days, which is a shame as they're cheap as chips and have the most amazing flavour. Using them in a parfait really makes the most of their wonderful taste, and your friends will be so impressed you've made it yourself. I like to serve mine in the middle of the table with a big pile of little toasts and let everyone tuck in.
