Anyone got any tips for cooking liver? I've tried this twice before and it's always tasted awful. First time I just cooked it up like a steak (bad idea). Second time I tried keeping it in lemon juice over night and cooked it up with onions. Was still pretty awful.I didn't eat this stuff growing up so I've got no tolerance for it, but absolutely want to eat it for nutritional purposes.

Help me /ck/

I tried it and I'm the same as you absolutely could not do it. Tastes like blood and metal. I just use the frozen pill method now.

Sautee it with onions, serve with potatoes and a lot of pepper.

One of my favorite foods

put the liver in milk for 30 mins up to an hour. poke small holes in and fill them with garlic pieces (optional). then fry like any piece of meat (add spieces)

Coat in flour, sear together with onions till crisp.
Salt, pepper, marjoram...whatever grinds your gears.
Done

I make chili with it in place of ground beef and it tastes pretty alright, if distinctly not like normal chili. It's a good way to get your iron in, if nothing else.

Milk doesn't do a thing and is a waste of milk.

Just eat liverwurst, even people who don't like liver will eat that.

I just ate a couple liverwurst sandwiches and felt a huge burst of energy after, to the point where my face felt hot. Is that normal if you don't eat it often, or is it just placebo?

I don't have any recipes for you besides bread and deep fry chicken livers, but I will say that it's the only food I go out of my way to make sure is organic. Just visually comparing them to conventional livers is pretty shocking

You can try making beef liver biltong. Basically beef liver jerky. For me, it is the best way to eat beef liver, and I will never go back to cooked liver.

Is liver that healthy, or why are you forcing yourself to eat it?

>> No.11362971

It's cheap and nutritious.

I usually mix flour, mustard powder, salt and pepper, then coat the liver with the mix and pan fry in butter.
Then have it with caramelised onions, flatbread and steamed veg of choice.

First off, beef liver is always going to be hideous. What you want for edible food is lamb' liver or calf's liver.

Lambs Liver
Soak overnight in milk - this takes out a shit ton of the metallic taste.
Then what you need is something sweet to go with it. Caramalised onions done in the pan are good, adding balsamic vinegar sweetens it up further. Some confection of bacon and cream also works.
Cooking: about 45 seconds to 1 minute on each side in a screaming hot pan, depending on thickness of the meat.

Do that and you get a glorious meaty sweet moreish plate of food for fucking pennies.
