Asking For Suggestions!

[Rafter H BBQ]

Hey all, so my son is really getting into hunting… and we’ve taught him to use everything when we harvest an animal!

My question is on elk/deer liver… we have done liver and onions and love that… but want to broaden our knowledge and understanding on other ways to prepare it!

Any suggestions?

Sausage is my first thought.

Some sort of braunschweiger maybe? I love that stuff.

Liver pudding. I think it's a southern/regional thing, but around here it's available at most grocery stores either stuffed in casings that appear to be 32mm-35mm or into loaf pans and sliced. Growing up when we butchered a hog, dad always made liver pudding with the liver. Here's a recipe that's similar to what he made except he would add cooked rice instead of the cornmeal or maybe in addition to cornmeal.

Southern-style liver pudding is a surprisingly delicious addition to a hearty breakfast or brunch. Especially popular in North Carolina, this pork-based meatloaf is similar to the sausage patty, but with a smoother texture and a slightly spicy, earthy flavor.

I have fond memories of eating it pan fried with runny eggs and grits. There are quite a few recipes on the interweb, but this one is close to what I remember him making...

best way i know is in the skillet.

a huge onion cooked in bacon grease with a pinch of ground rosemary and plenty black pepper. cook that until onions have browning edges then remove. lay the liver slices in the skillet and salt them. cook just until done and add the onions back in skillet. man is that awesome and simple!


did you peel the liver? thats an important step some dont know.
