Cooking with liver?  For most that means that ‘liver and onions’ is on the menu, and we won’t disappoint in this episode, but there are many meals and appetizers that can be crafted from high quality liver. In this episode of GoGreenfields, River and Terran prepare liver in two ways, to demonstrate a little of its versatility. They begin with a liver and beef meatball, before creating a classic liver and onions dish.

Classic Liver and Onions

Ingredients

• 1 lb liver sliced thinly
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp pepper
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp paprika
• olive oil

Directions

1. Soak liver in milk or goat milk overnight, then rinse with water before cooking
2. Gently dry the liver slices by patting them with paper towels.
3. Mix salt, pepper, garlic, and paprika.  Then, sprinkle over the liver slices.
4. In a skillet, heat approximately one tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. 
5. Reduce heat to medium and add the onions and stir frequently until the onions are semisoft and golden brown. 
6. Remove onions from the skillet and set them aside (It’s a good idea to cover with foil to keep them warm).
7. Rinse the skillet, return heat to medium-high, and heat approximately one tablespoon of olive oil until shimmering.
8. Reduce heat and add the liver slices.  Cook for approximately three minutes on each side, being careful to avoid overcooking.
9. Remove liver from the pan and top with onions
10. Serve and enjoy!
