Liver And Onions

[Vagus]

I'm trying to up my intake of iron rich food. I love liver but OH hates it so I've rarely made it. However, yesterday I made a vat of liver and onions in a tasty gravy, divided it into five substantial portions and froze it. I'm really looking forward to having it with some mash (maybe Lottys tasty carrot and sweet potato mash) and OH will have a beef and onion pie.

Dont know why I didn't think of doing this before 🙄

Batch cooking is a great thing to do, saves so much time and gas/electricity.

I batch cook soups, stews and casseroles, curries, Bolognese, pie fillings (sweet and savoury), lamb shanks, the shepherd and cottage as well as mashed potato.

Batch cooking is fine (we do it) so long asa you have enough storage.  And it soon builds up - we have 3 freezers rammed!

As for Liver & onions I love it to.  Had some once in a Bistro in the City once though.  Cost a fortune and somehow they have managed to screw it up.

I bought two packets of liver+bacon in an onion gravy with mash in M&S yesterday.

I'll add a few veg, carrots and steamed broccoli, to make a more substantial meal.

I've always done batch cooking for chilli, spag Bol, etc., things we both like, but just hadn't thought to do liver and onions just for me 🙄

I am going to have to be careful about doing any more batch cooking for a while as the feeezers (small fridge freezer and a large freezer) are just about full now.

A local pub used to do wonderful liver and onions but took it off the menu.

I've been 'batch-cooking' for a number of years, now, and, not having a microwave to thaw stuff out, my only problem with it is i have to decide what i want for my main meal before i've even had brekky.

The upside, of course, is that it's much, much cheaper (i live on my own) and i only need do a 'big' shop about once a month.

As regards liver and onions, i had some a few weeks back for the first time in ages. I have kidney with mine along with the mash and veg. Delish.

One of my favourite meals. Cut the lambs liver thinly, and add it to the onions and bacon near to the end. Lots of mash, gravey and veg...yum

[pastafreak]

The only livers I'll eat are chicken livers (I've tried all others 😝)...lots of onions, black pepper, garlic...finished with cream. Using the same ingredients and method, I'll make chicken liver pate. I've got 2 half packs of liver in the freezer, so I'll make some this weekend.

I had a chicken liver starter in my local Indian restaurant, it was delicious.

I just say, liver is not one of my favourite meats.

[youngmafbog]

Chicken liver is nice but its a starter.  

For for a main meal it has to be Lambs liver.  The dogs always liked pigs liver - raw with the 'blood' over the biscuits.

Sandy, I bought a Sainsbury's liver and mash for one person. It cost £3.25 or thereabouts, and whilst the liver was very nice there wasn't much of it, the mash was disgusting and I binned it. It's what decided me to make my own and making a huge vat of it was just as easy as making one portion just for me.

Mmm, I love kidney too 😋

I would rather nip down the pharmacy and buy some ferrous sulphate tablets than eat liver.

Liver and bacon with loads of onions and a rich gravy, one of my favourite meals, I had it last night in fact.  In the butcher's at the weekend I bought lamb's liver, thick slices of belly pork and a big bag of smoked bacon bits, ready for a vat of pea and ham soup, love winter food!  The belly pork goes into the slow cooker with loads of onions, sliced apples, dry cider and sage, delicious.

Liver is delicious if cut and cooked properly - many restaurants use too-thick cuts and overcook as a result - like the sort of fare I used to get served up at School Dinners in the Fifties.

[Hazlinny]

For years I hated the taste of liver but, being given a meal of it at a friend's house, I realised that I now quite like it - lamb's liver with plenty of onion, gravy and mash.  Friend said she soaked the liver in milk for about an hour before cooking - anyone else do that?
 

[Vagus]

I can't take ferrus sulphate, it's been suggested maybe iron infusions instead but I'd rather try and eat my way out of needing that.

Zebo, belly pork is one of our favourite ways to eat meat, with home made apple sauce.🐖🍏

Canary, I even loved school dinner liver, in fact I loved most school dinners and frequently ended up eating most of a tray intended for a table of eight. I wouldn't mind but I was a skinny pale child who looked like I needed a good meal 🙂

I never do Haz, neither did my mum.

I used to have lambs liver, lots of fried onions with it, as didn't particularly like tge taste of liver but knew it was good for me. Don't think I could face it today.

You fans should organise into a collective, maybe with the working title Liverpool.

🤢🤮

Cooked properly liver is the bees knees. I don't have it with gravy though.
