Beef Liver Fritters

Healthy, tasty liver fritters for kids and grown-ups alike. As a child, beef liver was the only way I'd eat it — I flat-out refused any other preparation. Now my son is the same way. And since liver is such a great source of iron, I make these fritters all the time.

Cooking method

Step 1:

Gather your ingredients. To make beef liver fritters, you'll need: beef liver, semolina, an egg, garlic, sour cream, ground black pepper, and salt.
Step 2:

Rinse the beef liver well and remove any membranes, internal ducts, and blood clots. Pat it dry with a paper towel and cut it into medium pieces.
Step 3:

Peel the garlic and either press it or mince it finely with a knife.
Step 4:

Put the liver and garlic in a blender and blend until smooth.
Step 5:

Add the egg and sour cream to the liver and blend again.
Step 6:

Transfer the liver mixture to a deep bowl. Stir in the semolina.
Step 7:

Season with salt and pepper, mix, and let it sit for 20–25 minutes so the semolina can swell.
Step 8:

Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet. Drop tablespoonfuls of the liver mixture into the hot oil, shaping them into round fritters. Fry on both sides, adding a little more oil as needed.

Beef liver is a great addition to a diet at any age. It's rich in iron, which helps raise hemoglobin, supports growth in children, and helps prevent anemia. It's also a good source of B vitamins and other nutrients that support brain function and the nervous system. That said, liver is nutrient-dense, so it's best enjoyed in moderation — especially for older adults, who do well with smaller portions. As always, check with your doctor if you have specific dietary concerns.
