LIVER

[jampots]

I love liver but havent had it in years as dh cant bear it. Turns out hardly anyone seems to like it. Well i bought myself some the other day as i am vit A deficient and it was v yummy. Anyone else care to join the liver appreciation club

I love chicken liver! I love chicken liver! I love chicken liver!
Nobody likes it, do they?
I only have it when DH is away as he can't stand it either.
Glad you like it.

Also not had any for years. A jewish friend at uni cooked lamb's liver by chopping it, adding mixed spices, esp. cumin and nutmeg and fried it in olive oil. It was yummy.
Can't stand pigs liver cooked with onions until it is like leather - reminds me of school dinners.

Delia recommends heating some olive oil with butter until it bubbles, add 1-2 chopped onions, 2 cloves of garlic and cooking for 5 mins or so then adding thin strips of liver and cooking for about 5-10mins. Take off the heat and add a few spoons of natural yoghurt, mix well with juices and return to heat for 5 mins - heaven..

Oooh yeah, liver and bacon with mash onion gravy and peas. Yum yum. Chicken liver pate with crusty bread.

i cant stand the stuff but my friend loves it - she even eats it raw as she cant wait to cook it! - am slightly worried she may have Hannibal Lecter tendancies lurking somewhere!

bleugh!

Saying that, I craved it when pregnant!

anyone have a humdinger of a recipe for chopped liver...or any other great chicken liver recipes???

I love liver - but no-one else in my house will eat it so I never have it these days. Fried with onion and bacon and with a big pile of buttery mashed potato...

I made Delia's chicken liver pate at Christmas and ate the lot myself

Love your liver
I love liver
Also, the boiled chicken liver and heart from making stock
Also like steak and kidney pie
So tasty

I love it too. Fried with onions and thick gravy, mopped up with crusty braed. Yum!

I'm the only one who likes it here so I do it occasionally for myself when dh is on nights. My mum will do it for me for Saturday lunch too - and her's is always better than mine.

yum, lots of tomatoes with it and onions and steaming mash. Dd's love it too and dh, pity you have to stop eating it when preg!

recipes? havne't got bacon, but have lots of other stuff in house...

Top with croutons.

Calves liver good sliced thinly horizontally,dipped in flour and pan fried.

oooo vinegar good plan...sherry vinegar to deglaze.

yummy.

so no tomatoes, no onions, no chopped hardboiled egg style stuff?

Christ no.
Don't confuse the issue.
Less really is more.

I love liver too !

Chicken liver, lambs' liver, but the best thing is melt in the mouth calves' liver. It's the most delicious thing and I'll usually choose that in a restaurant if it's on the menu.

In fact I love most offal like kidneys, and sweetbreads. I'm sure that most of the time it's the name that puts people off rather than the flavour .... if they did a blind tasting, they'd love it. I also wonder what some people think pate is made out of ..... there's nearly always offal of some sort in there.

I'm no way a vegetarian, far from it, but I do think that meat eaters have a "duty" if you like to waste as little as possible of the animals whcih get killed on their behalf. That means eating all parts of the animal which are actually edible ..... or else, I personally feel that somehow it's morally wrong. Of course, it's not always possible to get the more "unusual" bits in the supermarket, but a good, old-fashioned butcher would normally be able to supply these. Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's "Meat" book talks a lot about the "responsibility" of meat eating and I totally agree with him. Fergus Henderson's "Nose to Tail" book also contains lots of offal recipes.
