Chicken liver croutons

This dish is both an excellent hors-d'oeuvre and a good accompaniment for roasts and wild game.  For 6 persons clean 3 or 4 chicken livers carefully, clear them of the gall and mince them until mashed.  Then cook them with 1 chopped sprig of parsley in 1 knob of butter.  Out of the flame squeeze 1/2 lemon onto, add 1 tablespoon of finely chopped capers, check salt and pepper.  Spread this mixture generously on toasted or fried slices of bread and decorate the dish with lemon crescents and small sprigs of parsley.
