Pork Liver Braised in Sour Cream

A fast, very simple classic! Grandma's recipes never miss. Liver like this was once a dish for the aristocracy, cooked for them by private chefs. But we don't need any of that — we cook it ourselves, feed everyone (and ourselves), do the dishes, and get on with our day.
