Liver Recipe that will make you a liver lover!



We all know the health benefits of liver. Not only is it a great source of iron but low in calories too. In these days where we are advised to avoid red meat and fatty food for health purposes, why not try liver. 

However, liver is not known to be a ‘tasty’ food. Like I only cook liver for its health purposes. This was until I discovered how to make the unpleasant taste in liver disappear. Soaking the liver in milk before cooking makes the liver flavor mild. Yes, soaking the liver in milk gets rid of the taste. You can now gain the health benefits in liver and enjoy its taste. 

Once you have soaked for about 20 minutes, you can drain and cook the liver to your liking. 

Here is how I cook my soaked liver:

What you need
1 cup of milk
Rinse the liver slices with cold water to wash away the bloody fluid.
Place in a bowl and add a cupful of milk. This should be enough to cover all the pieces.
As the liver soaks, prepare the ingredients.
Cut the onions into rings
Dice the tomatoes into small pieces

What to do
Add some vegetable oil in a pan
Add the onions and cook in until they turn golden brown
Add the liver pieces and some salt
Cook the liver in the onions
Add ingredients such as pepper
Add the tomatoes last and cook until it is ready
Serve with a carbohydrate and vegetables

I like my liver with fried rice and spinach or kachumbari.
