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 🙄

Would Boots iron and vitamin liquid formula do for people who don't like the taste of liver?

How do you cook liver.  Sister likes but me not likes

// Friend said she soaked the liver in milk for about an hour before cooking - anyone else do that?//

 

A chef friend of ours said he soaked liver in milk if he wasn't sure of the quality to remove the slightly bitter taste,  good lamb's liver, even better calve's liver, shouldn't need it.

Maybe with a few fava beans and a glass of chianti......

The loveliest liver is 'foie de genisse' (heifer) as I discovered in France.  It is sold here as 'rose liver'.

We both very much like liver & onions, liver & bacon etc. - lamb's liver.  Soak other livers  (not 'rose') in milk for a while before cooking.

I've developed the habit of always buying a bit more than we need of almost everything because I've found that when you add veg.& gravy/sauce there is enough left over for a single portion meal, which I then freeze.  I have a freezer drawer for these and it means that there is always a meal available.  Every so often if funds are tight we live on  them - bit of variety.

When re heating it do not overcook the liver.

Absolutely mjw.  Remove liver pieces as soon as defrosted, reheat the rest thoroughly, turn down heat and add liver to warm through.

^^Now that is a good tip when taking Liver and Onions out of the freezer. Serve with Swede and Potato mash with Marrowfat peas. Big glass of Malbec. Yessir.
