I'm surprised it was soaked in milk... and not rum.
I can't stand the stuff Ummmm. My Mum used to cook it with onions. I think she used to toss it in flour before she cooked it, although that could be completely wrong. It's really good for you apparently.
You soak it in milk to tenderise it. I cook it with onions in gravy. Best meal I ever made with liver was in Spain (where it is very cheap). Fried it with onions in oil. Potatoes were not cooking quick enough, si I took them out of the pan, cut them up, then fried them lightly with the liver and oil - delicious! Never been able to do it properly since!!!
I think soaking in milk, especially with ox liver, makes it taste milder. Lovely fried with onions and bacon. Very good for you- lots of iron and Vit A.
I'm thinking, because my sons don't like liver, that I'll do steak (braising) and onions. Then I'll fry the liver and add at the last minute. Would they work together?
Lambs Liver is the mildest, then Pig's then Ox is the strongest. Cover in seasoned flour and fry the onions first then add the liver but don't over-cook.
