Chicken Liver Crostini

Contributed by Egi Maccioni

Heat the oil in a large nonreactive skillet. When the oil is hot, add the onion, sage and garlic and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the chicken livers and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the wine and diluted tomato paste and simmer over high heat until the liquid has evaporated and the livers are thoroughly cooked, about 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the capers, anchovies and butter. Season with salt, pepper and Tabasco. Serve warm on the toasted bread, sprinkled with sage.

Make Ahead The liver can be refrigerated overnight. Bring to room temperature, then reheat gently.
