Any interesting liver recipes

silverharp

Seems to be the marmite of meats but I like it taste wise and was hoping to include it again once a week or other week. Apart form the standard liver and onions and some kind of sauce, any other ways? the only other interesting variant I came across was to have it with bacon which sound like it could be good.

Not really a summer dish but a liver and bacon casserole is nice. I don't really have a recipe as such but it involves liver, bacon or pancetta, onions, tinned tomatoes sage and a good dash of worcester sauce. The finer livers like lamb or calves liver are a bit wasted on it so I usually use pigs liver.

Being an English West Country boy, I'd also like to put in an honourable mention for fagg0ts! Not 100% liver as there's pork mince in them too but the liver is a vital ingredient in them. Again not really a summer dish though.

I remember having calves liver in an Italian restaurant once with marsala and sage too which was good and quite light. Probably just some butter with chopped sage in it, sautee the liver and flambe with the marsala I'd guess.

How about some pate? Really easy to make and soooo tasty!

Livers
Loads of butter
Shalots
Port or brady

Cook the livers in a pan with 150g of butter until brown, finely dice the shalots, add the booze.

Blitz in a blender until smooth, place in containers and leave to cool in the fridge.

Done.

Gloomtastic!

Drool! Love homemade liver pate and so do kids as long as you don’t tell them what it’s made off. :eek:

I love the smell of liver cooking detest the taste

thanks, some great ideas there, it wouldn't have occurred to me in a millions years to make pate, i'd guess shop bought liverwurst etc has a lot of crap in it so wouldn't be the best. The others sound great as well, I was vaguely aware that there was a dish called ******s, I had a look on youtube and a youtuber Keef Cooks had a recipe for it , also called Savoury Ducks apparently

My mam used to make liver and stuffing wrapped in bacon. Used to love it as a kid, haven't had it in years though.

Yes, they're gorgeous, well I think so at least! They're an English West Country / Welsh thing and down there you'll see them for sale in butchers shops, so no real need to make them yourself. Lovely with lashings of onion gravy, creamy mash and peas

With a good chianti.

its weird how English food seemed to have a poor reputation in media land back in the day yet has regional dishes that everyone would be commending if it was somewhere in France or Italy?

I did above, but had no brandy or port. Would it soften the taste? As just on crackers, irs a bit strong.

It's still lovely without Brady or port.

I'm all for less is more. But maybe it was missing something.
