Any one have good recipes or ideas on preparing liver? I have heard soaking over night in milk mellows the "organ" taste to it and breaks down the connective tissues. Thought?
 
Milk or wine. Soak for couple of hours, dont rinse, cut into strips coat with seasoned flour, fry med-high heat in butter, throw in your sauted onions and your set.

good luck

Mmmmmmmmm! I'm one of the odd ones that absolutely loves liver and onions. Only problem is I am one of a very, very select few which means I havn't had it in years. Mom used to make it the best. She also used to fry chicken livers that were awesome.
 
I would just take it out of the package then throw it out to the dogs.

As a thank you to a friend of mine I smoked up some chicken livers wrapped in bacon. He said they were some of the best he's ever had.

As for liver, I haven't had it in years but used to love it...floured and fried in the electric skillet. Only calves liver though.
 
Mom learned hers from Grandma. Grandma was a farm wife that had 8 farm hand kids, cooked on a woodburn stove, cast iron pots & pans. The ol' gal was the QUEEN of the dutch oven! But my mom could sling a great batch of liver and onions! Haven't had a good batch since I left home 20 years ago. She visits the grandkids every summer. One of her favorite dishes is a good pork tenderloin. I think I'll smoke her one if she'll agree to stink up the house with liver and onions!!
 
Flour with black pepper,I have used shake-n-bake not bad, I love Liver-n- onions, have not tried the baco wrap tho, that's next

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.........

Find a shingle of an old outhouse................

Place liver on old shingle................

Place in oven and bake for 1 1/2 hrs............

Remove from oven and let it rest.................

Locate your dog (or the neighbors).............

Chuck the liver out to the dog and eat the shingle!!!
 
Now that sounds pretty darn good! I think I'll have to try that soon.

Another good use for chicken livers is bait for catching catfish. The trick to keeping it on the hook is either cheesecloth or thread wound around it, I prefer the cheesecloth method. Catfish can't resist it!
 
I worked in an Austins Steak House for 4 years and we did a mean L-n-O. We didn't soak it at all. Just good fresh liver with some flour and cooked on the flat top (when I cooked for Ma and G-Ma I used my elec skillet). Then sautead (sp?) onions and bacon. Back to cookin for Ma, I used a mixture of red and white onions and cooked them till they were nice and sweet. Some good smoky bacon and maybe a little A-1...MMMMMM. I might have to make this again soon after typing this out. Now I'm hungry for it too. DO NOT OVER COOK OR YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WHY SO MANY PEOPLE HATE EATING LIVER! Didn't mean to shout. Just keep it tender!
