Kittencal's Best Chopped Beef Liver! image

After you cook the liver and fry the onions, this takes really only minutes to make and is one of the best recipes for chopped liver! After you process your cooked chicken use about 1/4 cup of the chicken for this recipe. I like to also add in some schmaltz which is rendered chicken fat it adds so much flavor to the chopped liver! I strongly suggest to make a double amount an freeze some, you won't be able to keep your spoon out this lol!! You can cook the liver and sauté the onions up to a day in advance to save some time if desired.

KITTENCAL'S BEEF LIVER AND ONIONS



Kittencal's Beef Liver and Onions image

Plan ahead the liver needs to sit in the milk for 2 hours before cooking to remove any bitter or sharp taste, this is a critical step so do not omit! --- fry the onions while the liver sits in the milk, use as many onions as you desire, I use 3 three jumbo onions, since my family loves spicy I also add in some cayenne pepper to the flour mixture --- the trick to perfect liver is not to overcook and leave only slightly pink in the middle, you may increase or double this recipe --- serve with mashed potatoes or fries :)

ABSOLUTE BEST LIVER AND ONIONS



Absolute Best Liver and Onions image

This recipe will turn liver haters into converts. Very simple! The three things that will set your liver above all others are: 1) soak in milk, 2)turn liver as little as possible and 3) don't overcook!

Provided by JSHULER43

Categories     Everyday Cooking

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds sliced beef liver
1 ½ cups milk, or as needed
¼ cup butter, divided
2 large Vidalia onions, sliced into rings
2 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Gently rinse liver slices under cold water, and place in a medium bowl. Pour in enough milk to cover. Let stand while preparing onions. (I like to soak up to an hour or two - whatever you have time for.) This step is SO important in taking the bitter taste of the liver out.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Separate onion rings, and saute them in butter until soft. Remove onions, and melt remaining butter in the skillet. Season the flour with salt and pepper, and put it in a shallow dish or on a plate. Drain milk from liver, and coat slices in the flour mixture.
  • When the butter has melted, turn the heat up to medium-high, and place the coated liver slices in the pan. Cook until nice and brown on the bottom. Turn, and cook on the other side until browned. Add onions, and reduce heat to medium. Cook a bit longer to taste. Our family prefers the liver to just barely retain a pinkness on the inside when you cut to check. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right liver: Look for a fresh, firm, and evenly colored liver. Avoid any liver that is discolored, bruised, or has a strong odor.
  • Soak the liver in milk: This will help to remove any bitterness from the liver and make it more tender. Soak the liver in milk for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Season the liver well: Liver has a mild flavor, so it is important to season it well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder to taste.
  • Cook the liver over medium heat: Liver is a delicate organ meat, so it is important to cook it over medium heat. This will help to prevent the liver from becoming tough.
  • Do not overcook the liver: Liver is best when it is cooked to medium-rare or medium. Overcooked liver will become tough and dry.
  • Serve the liver immediately: Liver is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help to prevent the liver from drying out.

Conclusion:

Beef liver and onions is a classic dish that is both delicious and nutritious. It is a good source of protein, iron, and vitamins A and B12. With a little bit of preparation and cooking, you can easily make a delicious and satisfying meal of beef liver and onions at home.
