However, it doesn't need a lot of cooking as it then goes tough and rubbery. I used to braise it with onions beneath with just a little stock. It needs to be just a little pink (not red) in the middle so that it's tender and succulent. I used to buy it very thinly sliced.
Mmmm I love liver (and so cheap too)
but im the only one in our household who like's it.
I usually rinse liver in water then coat in flour before pan frying with a little oil and onions, I then add bacon and fry until bacon is cooked, then i make up some gravy and to pan and let simmer for about 10-15mins.........making my mouth water jsut thing about it!
tried different liver pigs, lambs and even ox's but they all seem to taste the same to me!
i just love liver :)
brief fry, stick it in a casserole dish with onions and bacon, and a bit of water, braise it slowly. thicken the gravy and eat with mash, peas and carrot and swede.
To answer the questions above:
I dip the liver in flour (without any seasoning) first when I remember to do so, but it doesn't really seem to affect the end result if I forget to do it.
Calves liver quickly flashed both sides on a griddle. Nice thick onion gravy. Mashed potatoes. 2 or 3 grilled back bacon rashers. Don't get it very often as Mrs McM not taken with it. However when she is away I get stuck in.
I love lambs liver with onions the same way as Mr Incredible. I also like pigs liver, it's softer and sweeter, I can eat that, lightly fried with mash and marrowfat peas with a couple of sausages. lovely.
