Re: Do You Know Your Liver and Onions?

No one with any thoughts on point 1:

1) My concern with buying it already cooked is that I can't believe many people would want to buy a liver meal, so few I would be concerned about the "sell by date" being well passed.

I never buy anything ready cooked, Gravitas, much prefer to cook from scratch.

Re: Do You Know Your Liver and Onions?

I thought for the best flavour you should eat it very quickly after it's been cooked from raw. Reheating it ruins the experience.

The COOK range of home cooked dishes is excellent.
I'm told their liver and bacon meal is delicious.

It goes leathery if reheated.

I'm not concerned about the cost, I just can't bring myself to get some down me. But I'll organise something and forward your advice (including the previous thread) to my chef.
If its for just you then go to the butchers, the packs in the supermarkets feed 4 people easily

Ask your butcher for one or two ( or 3 or 4 ) thin slices and ask him to trim it if needed, a couple of slices shouldn't be more then 50p

this is how I cook it and my husband who thought he hated liver loves it

Add a wee drop of oil to a non stick frying pan, add a couple of rashers of good streaky bacon, not that wafer thin stuff, and cook till done as you like, remove and drain. Now add a sliced onion to the fat in the pan and cook till lovely and caramelised . Remove from pan and drain on kitchen towel

Put the kettle on to boil

on a plate put some flour seasoned well with salt and pepper. Coat the liver in the flour and add to the fairly hot frying pan, you might need a touch more oil, but go easy, you don't want an oily dish

As soon as you see blood appear on the top of the liver, turn it.

Give it another minute or two then add the boiling water, slowly, stirring all the time to get all that flour and juices together to make a lovely thick gravy. Add an oxo cube if your gravy is thickening nicely, if it isn't use gravy granules

Soon as the gravy in right, stir back in the bacon and onions to heat through and then serve with mash potatoes

Re: Do You Know Your Liver and Onions?

Calf's liver and sauted onions with mashed potatoes is still one of my favorite meals. It is also my grown son's favorite meal, he had it as a child and loved it even then.

Don't prepare it often, but a treat when I do.
