Boiled liver

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to cook liver? This recipe is for chicken liver. Wash the chicken liver and put it in a colander to allow excess water to drain. The liver must be freed from ducts, bile and blood clots. The ducts look like light streaks. And gallbladders and bile are dark green elements. If they are not removed, then you can spoil the whole dish, as the bile will give an unpleasant bitterness.

2. Step 2:

   

   The color of a normal chicken liver can vary from light brown to burgundy brown. It depends on the age of the bird and the individual characteristics of the chicken organism, that is, it is not critical at all.

3. Step 3:

   

   Cut the liver into portions. High-quality chicken liver should be smooth and shiny, with a characteristic "liver" smell.

5. Step 4:

   

   Pour cold water into the pan. Lay out the liver. Bring the water to a boil over low heat. I sometimes add a whole peeled onion and carrot, then the liver turns out even tastier.

6. Step 5:

   

   During the cooking process, remove the resulting foam with a slotted spoon.

7. Step 6:

   

   I prefer to add bay leaf and allspice at this stage when the main foam is removed. Add salt to taste. After boiling the water, the chicken liver will be ready in fifteen minutes. It is not necessary to cook it longer, since the liver can become stiff. Remove the liver from the broth with a slotted spoon and serve to the table. Bon appetit!
