Re: Liver and Onions

Twink, I'm always a bit frightened of undercooking liver, wondering if it's safe to eat with blood still coming out. I suppose it does depend on how thick it is as to how long it needs in the pan but I cook it pretty much the same method as you but will have a go in the slow cooker some time.

I was advised by a doctor, after having a severe blood loss, that under done liver was the very best way to to increase my red blood corpuscles . At the time I wasn't keen to eat it, but now I wouldn't eat it any other way.

Re: Liver and Onions

Thanks Twink, I think I've been overlooking mine, so long as I know it's safe I'll use your recipe.

Never been to S.Korea, so I don't know what dogs taste like. Will perhaps have to consult Hannibal Lecter.

Liver is my all time worst food I have ever tasted. At school we were forced to eat our school lunches, so I always carried a little bag in my pocket in which to put the liver, when the teacher wasn't looking!

Any tips for me? What type, etc.
Steamed liver, gads. I can't even imagine eating it that way, it sounds horrendous.

I'd go with Twink's idea and definitely don't overcook it. I cook mine JUST until I see the pink fading, then remove it from the heat. I don't like my liver bloody (which is odd because I love rare steak) but I like it just on the verge of turning from pink to brown.

I personally like beef and chicken liver the best.

Stir in 1 level tablespoon of plain flour and about 300 mls of lamb stock, added slowly, to make a rich gravy. Return your liver to the pan for a minute and serve with your chosen veg & potatoes. Make sure you don't overcook your liver or it will go hard and chewy. Season to taste, if required.
That sounds delicious

You can use whatever liver you like, but here is another tip. If you have left over veg from the day before, you can put them in the microwave..... that way you only dirty one pan.
