How to Make Stir Fried Liver

  • Heat oil in a skillet on Medium heat.
  • Add liver and cook 1-2 minutes on each side, then remove from skillet and set aside to rest.
  • Into the skillet, add onions, ginger, garlic, and other veggies, except for the broccoli and other veggies that might require less cooking time.
  • Saute veggies for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add in dried spices and remaining veggies and saute 2 minutes.
  • Add in the Tamari or soy sauce. This will help de-glaze the pan if using a stainless steel skillet. Check current prices for skillets online.
  • Slice liver into ½ strips and stir into the skillet.
  • Saute for 1-2 minutes until the liver is done to your liking.
  • Finish the dish with the Sesame oil, stir, and serve.
  • Serve over rice, and top with sesame seeds or chopped peanuts, if desired. Check current pricing for EVERTHING BAGEL TOPPING, which I think works great on this dish. I bet cilantro would be a great addition as well.

Liver is a super nutritious protein and a cool ingredient.

Cuban Liver Recipe – Hígado a la Italiana

by
cuban liver recipe

If you enjoy Latin cooking, then give this satisfying Cuban liver recipe a try. A simple preparation of liver and onions is a classic liver dish, but for this Cuban liver recipe, we’re going to bring the zing of vinegar to the dish, along with the color and flavor of bell peppers and garlic.

In Cuba, this liver dish is called Hígado a la Italiana which means “Italian liver”, although it’s Cuban through and through.

Ingredients for Cuban Liver Recipe

1 lb BEEF LIVER
1 RED BELL PEPPER sliced
1 or just ½ GREEN BELL PEPPER sliced (how much do you like green bell pepper?)
1 ONION thinly sliced
3-4 cloves GARLIC sliced
2 Tbsp FLOUR
½ cup WATER
½ cup VINEGAR (I like using rice wine vinegar)
Try these seasonings, but experiment with flavors you like:
1 Tbsp CUMIN POWDER
1 Tbsp SMOKED PAPRIKA
1 Tbsp GARLIC POWDER
1 tsp CHILI POWDER
SALT and PEPPER to taste
OIL for sauteing

Liver Recipe for People Scared of Liver

by
liver recipe

If you ever wondered how to cook liver, then this liver recipe is an easy place to start. Growing up in the southern USA, I ate a lot of liver and onions. I know it looks like a scary prop from a Freddy Kruger movie, but it’s nutrient dense and delicious. If you didn’t grow up eating liver and onions, then the idea probably doesn’t sound very appealing, but it’s worth giving a try if you’re at all curious. Here’s a simple liver recipe with just a little oil, seasoning, hint of flour, and a whole lot of onions. Liver cooks up quickly. The onions take a little more time, but even so, it’s a quick and easy dish to prepare. And liver is a protein superfood, for reals.

What You Need for This Liver Recipe

BEEF LIVER (buy skinned and deveined liver, and thicker cuts are easier to handle)
ONIONS (lots of onions)
FLOUR (just a light dusting, use almond flour for a gluten free recipe)
SALT
PEPPER
(add other seasonings as well, if desired)
OIL for cooking

Beef liver is a bargain ingredient packed full of flavor and nutrition. For easiest prep and handling, buy liver that is already sliced and deveined.

How Cook Liver and Onions

  • Wash and pat dry the liver.
  • Cut liver into palm sized pieces for easy handling in the skillet.
  • Bread liver lightly with seasoned flour.
  • Heat oil in a skillet on medium heat. Check current prices for a non-stick skillet on Amazon.

  • Remove liver and place on a paper towel.
  • Add onions to the skillet and saute until carmelized.

  • Plate liver and top with onions.

That’s it!

Tips for Buying and Cooking Liver

  • Buy paler liver for milder flavor. The darker the liver, the stronger the flavor.
  • “Calf liver” is milder, but more expensive than “beef liver”.
  • Buy “de-veined” liver; this will reduce some of the chewiness.
  • If you can’t find liver in your butcher’s meat case, check the frozen section. Beef liver is often sold frozen.
  • You can marinate beef liver in milk for a milder flavor.
  • Cook liver until it is firm, but still slightly pink inside. Overcooked liver can be chewy.

Benefits of Eating Liver

  • Liver is a nutrient powerhouse: a protein superfood.
  • It is packed with vitamins B12 and A.
  • Liver is high in iron, zinc, copper, and folic acid.
  • Liver is an excellent source of protein.
  • Eat liver to prevent or treat anemia.
  • Does liver sound gross? Remember, liver does not store toxins, but acts as a filter, and eating liver will benefit your own liver function.
