Lebanese Chicken Livers

I know chicken livers aren’t very popular with my generation and younger, but it is something I was raised on and still enjoy to this day. They are inexpensive and happen to be full of iron, protein, vitamins A, C, and B12. This particular preparation is simple, but boasts a ton of flavor from the garlic and mint. Adding the lemon juice at the last minute helps balance out the richness of the livers.
