I worked with a guy that made some killer calf liver boiled in some broth, and dipped into some sauce. Very tasty.

What elkhunter described. And served with mashed potatoes and pan gravy.

I soak liver in milk for 20 minutes or so first, then flour and fry in bacon grease.

I like chicken livers. Any other I would have to be really hungry to eat. Tastes too much like vomit.
Posted By: Whelenman Re: Liver, and Onions? - 10/06/20
I smell liver and onions, and I want to puke.

Chicken livers, hearts and onions seasoned with salt & pepper and sautéed in olive oil and white wine is a favorite.

This sounds good. Will have to try that.

Lightly floured calf liver fried with onions and more heavily breaded chicken livers fried in a pan is one of the most enjoyable meals one can have. Include mashed taters, gravy, and some garden peas and it is a gourmet meal for kings.

Venison liver. Caramelize red onion and bacon, remove. Slice liver 3/8" and dredge lightly in seasoned flour. Add oil or butter to pan as needed and fry fairly quick and a bit of red in the center. The worst liver is an over cooked one.


Chicken. Buy whole bird and trim fat. Fry fat in small cast iron skillet with just salt until its a cracklin snack. With rendered chicken fat, toss in the giblets and neck. More salt and don't cook it naked!

i always loved the smell of calves liver while my mother cooked it on the stove, the taste/texture not so much
Posted By: Mesa Re: Liver, and Onions? - 10/07/20
Higado encebollado, which is just calf liver with LOTS of onions breaded with fine-ground corn flour, fried LIGHTLY in lard, and simmered slowly with mild green chiles. Fresh tortillas and Negra Modelo required on side.
Posted By: Dillonbuck Re: Liver, and Onions? - 10/08/20
Sounds good.


Love liver and onions.

Went in one of our c-stores, when I was delivering fuel,
And microwaved my lunch.

Liver and onions and Brussel Sprouts.

Those ladies working there were quite pissed off.

About a half hour later, after I unloaded, the place still stunk.
Posted By: grdad45 Re: Liver, and Onions? - 10/08/20
I love it, but my gout doesn't! That said, I will push the envelope occasionally and partake of either calves' liver floured and fried or chicken livers double dredged and deep fried.

I tried frying up the prettiest venison liver I had ever seen. Just could not eat it.

The only liver and onions I enjoy eating, is the one I get at a local "Luby's". It is dredged in flour and fried. I add a dash or two of French Dressing to it and love it. If I ever shoot a younger deer with a clean, pretty liver I may try cooking it up again.

Was it the taste?? Smell?? Or just the idea of a 'wild' liver, and not store bought????

I love the liver and onions that is the lunch special on Thursdays at Uwe's, a local German restaurant. I make my own from calf liver by rinsing in water, then dredging twice through flour seasoned with Lowry's seasoned pepper, sea salt, and smoked paprika. The slices are about 3/16 - 1/4" thick and fried in olive oil about 3 minutes on each side. I saute sweet onions separately in butter then place on top of the liver. Add some fried potatoes (little cubes) and some mixed veges and it makes a yummy lunch or supper.

Liver and onions? It's a waste of good onions.

[quote=diamondjim]I soak liver in milk for 20 minutes or so first, then flour and fry in bacon grease. [ed/quote]

That's exactly how I do it too! Although the wife would never touch it no matter how it was fixed.

More for me!

In fact, I just had my meat market slice up ten or so pounds for me just the other day. Sliced from a big frozen chunk at a half inch thick. that way when it thaws, it comes out at about 3/8 thick. Perfect for frying till it's pink in the middle.

I think I paid less than twenty bucks for that ten pounds.

I really am not sure now, that was several years ago. I think it was the texture. I will try it again, if I shoot the right deer. I think I will soak it, dredge it in flour and then fry it up....with onions of course. smile

Now here is a MAN with a PLAN!

I wouldn't give a nickle for a truckload of it.

Funny because I love old fashioned, homemade German Braunschweiger.

Absolutely agree there calicooknic.

I've sent it back at restaurants and told them I don't eat shoe leather.
Posted By: Valsdad Re: Liver, and Onions? - 10/18/20
Mom cooked ours like a lot of you folks, just dredged in milk and flour. Thing is, she never ate it. Only cooked it for the old man, and later me, and even later the youngest brother.

I've adapted it somewhat. Dredged in flour, then egg/milk mixture, then in Italian style bread crumbs, then fried in fat of the sort that is handy at the time. Bacon grease preferred.

Lots of onions.

My wife hates it like my mom did, so it's a special thing for me and the dogs when she's away.
