I decided to try my hand at cooking sum deer liver last evening. I have had it in the freezer since last fall, but I've never cooked mammal liver before. I thawed it out and opened the vacuum bag. Stink, stink, stink. I figgered it went rancid or sumthin. I didn't want to waste it, so I cooked it up for the dogs guessing they'd avoid it if it was really bad. I didn't want extra oil or seasonings, so I put a dab of lard in and finished it up quickly on high heat to what I'd guess is medium. The smell became livery and pleasant.
I'm now thinking I wasted a great liver on the dogs. Is it supposed to stink when it's raw? It had a rich almost tuna like smell.
BTW...I was the dogs' hero last night. They follered me around all evening smiling at me.
