Wonderful taste, original design, lots of benefits - what else is important for a true culinary specialist?

The best way to excite people is to serve a cake at the diner table and not say that it is made from liver. Imagine the amazement of your guests when they take a closer look and understand that the red flowers on the "dessert" are made of cherry tomatoes, the cute white specks that brighten up the overall picture so cool are from mayonnaise, and the leaves on the sides are not creamy at all, but quite even real and very parsley! In my opinion, this aspect alone is worth taking a little time and making a nice, tasty, bright liver cake for tonight's dinner.

Recipes - the sea. How not to drown in them, finding "your own" and choosing the best? There is only one recommendation - to try and experiment. Through trial and error, you will surely find one that suits you in all respects. I can only help in one thing - to tell you about those recipes for liver cakes that I cooked myself, tried and tasted, being satisfied with the result.

For making liver cake, it is best to take beef (veal) or chicken liver. The pork, alas, is mercilessly bitter, which is felt especially clearly in the cake. If you have unlimited access to goose (ah!) Or duck (mmmm! ...) liver, feel free to take them. A very decent cake is also obtained from turkey liver.

We drive eggs to the liver-onion mass, add salt and pepper, stir, pour in milk and gradually add flour, carefully stirring possible lumps.
The consistency of the dough should be slightly thicker than a regular pancake. Be sure to give him a little "rest" - when the gluten disperses, it will be much easier to fry such pancakes, they will become stronger and more elastic.

Greasing a well-heated frying pan with oil, fry the pancakes on both sides until light golden brown. Leave to cool.

In the meantime, take care of the filling - cut the remaining onion into half rings and fry it in vegetable oil until golden brown.

Grease the top and sides of the cake with mayonnaise, if desired, decorate with herbs, boiled egg, vegetables.

Liver cake with buckwheat flour

If you cook the liver in, say, the usual fried form, what do you serve it with? In my family, they prefer buckwheat as a side dish - it seems to me that this cereal is simply created in order to perform on the same stage with the liver, it emphasizes its taste and reveals half tones, balances a light bitter-tart aftertaste and simply gives a feeling of deliciousness, lightness, satiety.

Ingredients for the recipe:

• 5 eggs;

Cool the finished pancakes and coat with mayonnaise mixed with a few cloves of garlic. Let it soak and serve, cut into portions.

Liver cake in a slow cooker

In the age of insane speeds and the desire to reduce the time spent on solving household issues, more and more people are switching to cooking in a multicooker. In my opinion, the liver cake baked in this way loses in taste - it is more boring, restrained, neutral. However, at the same time, it should be noted that the amount of oil compared to the option in the pan is significantly small. In addition, baked ones are always healthier than fried ones, so as an alternative, such a cake has a right to exist.

Ingredients for the recipe:

• 500 g liver;
• 3 eggs;
• 2 onions;
• 1 carrot;
• 1 glass of sour cream;
• 1/3 cup flour
• vegetable oil;
• 50 g mayonnaise;
• 3-4 cloves of garlic;
• 2 boiled eggs.

How to make a liver cake in a slow cooker

Cut the onion into cubes, fry in a multicooker on the "Baking" mode.
Rub the carrots on a fine grater and fry too.

My liver, dry and cut into pieces. Put in a bowl, add onions and carrots, puree the mass with a blender or pass through a meat grinder. Add eggs, salt and pepper, flour and knead a not very thick dough.

Grease the multicooker cup with oil, pour out the dough and close the lid. Cooking on the "Baking" mode for 60 minutes.

Take the finished cake out of the multicooker and, after cooling completely, cut it into 2-3 cakes.
Mix the crushed garlic with mayonnaise and grease the cake. We also grease the top and sides with “cream” and sprinkle with grated egg. Serve 2-3 hours after the cake is soaked.

Liver roll

Yes, this is not a cake, but a roll, but it is cooked in the oven and looks stunning on a plate. It will take a little less time to create it, and the result will be no worse.

Ingredients for the recipe:

• 500 g liver;
• 100 ml of kefir;
• 1 tsp baking powder;
• 2 eggs;
• 1 cup flour
• 2 onions;
• salt pepper;
• 150 g of hard cheese;
• 2 cloves of garlic;
• a few sprigs of parsley.

COOKING ROLL

Wash the liver, dry it, remove the films and chop it together with the onion with a blender. Add eggs, kefir, salt, pepper and baking powder, stir in flour and grind until smooth. Pour the dough onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 15 minutes.

While the roll is baking, grate the cheese on a fine grater and mix it with finely chopped parsley and squeezed garlic.

We take the cake out of the oven and sprinkle evenly with cheese and herbs. Immediately roll into a roll, separating it from the paper, and return to the oven for another 3-5 minutes. Cut in a cooled form.

A reason to dream up

The listed recipes for a liver cake are not a complete list of how you can diversify a fairly common dish. You can safely add to the filling:
- fried carrots and Korean carrots;
- caramelized apples, applesauce and apples, cubed or grated;
- cranberries, lingonberries and any other sour berries;
- eggplants, zucchini, tomatoes and many other vegetables that are combined with liver;
- nuts and seeds;
- prunes, raisins, dried apricots.

Turning cons to pros

Quite often, you can find comments and opinions that liver cake is a terrible horror, decorated and served in the form of a beautiful appetizer. Different opinions are needed, different opinions are important, but let's figure it out. The most common argument against is the use of mayonnaise. No one argues that industrial sauce is far from ideal and contains elements of the periodic table that are far from useful for the body, however, who says that liver cake must be smeared with purchased mayonnaise without fail? Now almost everyone in the kitchen has a blender, well, and finding an egg, vegetable oil and a spoonful of mustard and lemon juice is not a problem at all - create, beat, get a healthy homemade product, which you can use to make snacks. And do not grumble about the nasty stuff that is hiding in store packages with mayonnaise, grumbling is more harmful than eating it.

By the way, some part of the mayonnaise can be replaced with low-fat sour cream - just mix them together and smear the pancakes with the resulting "cream". The taste will practically not change, but the fat content will decrease, and your mind will be pleased.

The second common argument from the category "Baba Yaga against" is the ranting about frying. The liver cake, it turns out, requires frying! Oh! Here I run out of reasonable arguments, I just want to ask if a person really doesn't eat anything fried at all? Potatoes with an appetizing crust, a ruddy cutlet, lush pancakes with apples - everything is in the abyss, is it all wrong? When there is a counter argument about the amount of this very fried in one dish, I want to answer sarcastically if a person is going to eat the whole cake whole and alone. You don't have to absorb everything at once, eat one slice, accompany it with a light vegetable salad - and you will be happy.

Liver benefits

It's no secret that the liver is a product that is not very popular among the general population. And in vain! He has a lot of his merits, which I propose to talk about a little.

Keratin, which is part of the liver, activates metabolic processes, helping the body to remove nasty things and dump garbage. There is no need to talk about the benefits of folic acid, which is very difficult to find in food - it is not in vain that it is prescribed to all pregnant women in the form of pharmacological preparations. Antioxidants are a separate conversation, now all conscious people without exception are looking for an antidote to the harmful effects of the environment, and the liver just boasts a high content of these substances. Whom in childhood was not stuffed with a liver "for hemoglobin"? It seems to me that I know from the cradle that this product contains a record amount of iron, which is essential for the functioning of any human body. I won't talk about a bouquet of vitamins and a mountain of minerals - everything is clear.

By the way, returning to the main topic of conversation, I will say that muttering about the high calorie content of liver cake is also quite controversial. The liver itself is a low-calorie and dietary product, in its 100 grams there is only 100 kcal, thanks to this fact, nutritionists even develop effective liver diets.

So, the liver is tasty, healthy and cheap, so I advise you not to hesitate anymore and rush to the kitchen - to cook, enjoy and love the world around you: as soon as you learn to do this sincerely, he will love you too, you will see!

Decoration and presentation

Like any pancake cake, liver cake can claim the right to be served in an unusual and interesting way. Grated cheese, carving and vegetable applications, a sea of ​​various greens and herbs, olives, green peas, pomegranate seeds - show a little imagination and the cake will sparkle with incredible colors! When baking "cakes", make them all of different diameters - from the largest to the smallest: having smeared with cream, you get a Christmas tree that can be put on the New Year's table. Three diameters of pancake circles - and a joyful snowman is almost ready. Taking the heart-shaped molds, it's easy to assemble a portioned Valentine's Day snack.

By the way, portioned serving is also a great option for those who, for some reason, are not “friendly” with pancakes. Frying pancakes is much easier - using the omelet restraint rings, you can get small pancakes of the same size, which can be folded into neat liver ... cakes. Don't be boring and monotonous, create and decorate the world, making it brighter, more interesting, more fun!

The liver is very useful, it is rich in protein, vitamins of group B, A, C, E, D, K, PP. It contains valuable mineral components such as nickel, potassium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium fluorine, zinc, as well as useful cholesterol, fatty acids, and enzymes. The use of beef liver is recommended by nutritionists with a decrease in hemoglobin, weight correction, to strengthen the musculoskeletal system, immunity.

Liver cake can be made from either chicken or beef liver. ... As a last resort, you can use pork liver, but not everyone likes it because of the bitter taste. To reduce it, cut the pork liver into pieces and soak in milk for 1-2 hours. Sour cream or low-fat mayonnaise with various sautéed vegetables, fried mushrooms or boiled eggs is suitable as a filling. At the same time, the cake turns out to be very satisfying. Decorated with grated egg or carrots, this dish will become the main one on the festive table.

In order for such a valuable product as the liver to benefit your body, choose it correctly. Here are the basic guidelines:

Recipe

No festive meal is complete without snacks. Moreover, each hostess wants not only to feed the guests deliciously, but also to surprise with an unusual treat. When planning a menu, we most often give preference to budgetary and economical dishes that do not take a lot of time to prepare. Therefore, you have to show your culinary imagination in order to turn the available ingredients into a beautiful and mouth-watering gastronomic masterpiece.


Among such dishes, in the first place in my cookbook is a simple recipe for an appetizer liver cake with carrots. It is easy to prepare, and the necessary offal can be purchased on the market or in any supermarket for a reasonable price.

Ingredients:

for cakes:

• beef liver - 600 g
• eggs - 3 pcs.
• milk - 150 ml
• sunflower oil - 50 ml
• flour - 3 tbsp. l. with a slide
• salt - 1 tsp without slide

for filling and decoration:

• sour cream - 250 ml
• boiled egg - 2 pcs.
• carrots - 2 pcs.
• onions - 1 pc.
• vegetable oil - 3 tbsp. l.
• salt, pepper - to taste.

How to cook

Beef liver for cakes must be thoroughly rinsed and cleaned. It is necessary to remove a thin film from it.

To make the film easier to separate, the liver should be soaked in cold water for 30 minutes.

After removing the film, the large vessels must be carefully cut out. To clear the offal from the bile ducts, cut it into smaller pieces so that the cut runs along the veins. The opened ducts on the sides must be cut with a sharp knife and carefully separated along the entire length from the liver.

Then the liver needs to be cut into large pieces.

They should be chopped with a blender or minced. You should get a homogeneous liquid mass.


It is necessary to add eggs and milk to it. The cakes will turn out to be thin and baked well if simple proportions are observed: for 200 g of liver you need 1 egg and 50 ml of milk. Stir the liver dough with a whisk and add salt.


Then you need to pour in a little vegetable oil. Thanks to this ingredient, the cakes will not stick to the pan during frying.


In order for the dough to acquire the desired consistency, flour should be added. Depending on its hygroscopicity, 2-3 spoons will be required.

You can use potato or corn starch instead of wheat flour.

The liver dough must be thorough so that there are no lumps left. In order for the mass to be homogeneous, you can use a mixer or blender.


It is better to make cake cakes with a small diameter so that they do not break. To do this, you can use a pancake maker or a frying pan with a diameter of 15-16 cm. It should be greased with a napkin soaked in vegetable oil and heated well. Then you need to pour a little dough into the pan and distribute it in an even layer in a circular motion. The layer thickness should be 3-4 mm. The cake must be fried until the pink shade disappears for 2-3 minutes.


Then it should be pry off with a spatula and turn it over with a quick movement. After 2 minutes, transfer the cake to a plate to cool down and start frying the next one.


From the specified number of ingredients, 10-12 cakes are obtained.


While they are cooling down, you need to prepare the filling. To do this, you need to wash, peel and finely chop or grate the carrots and onions.

The cut of my cake looks rude. Try using a fine carrot grater. It will be more beautiful.

They should be sautéed in vegetable oil for 7 minutes until soft. Then the filling must be removed from the heat, salt and pepper to taste.


When the cakes and filling are completely cool, you can collect the cake. Each cake must be greased with sour cream.

Take the amount of sour cream according to the situation. The more sour cream, the softer the cake. But know when to stop.

On all the cakes, except for the top one, you need to put 1 tbsp. l. filling and distribute it evenly.


Before you grease the last layer, you should lightly press down on the cake so that there are no voids left.


Then the top crust and sides of the cake should be greased with sour cream.


The remaining boiled eggs must be divided into white and yolk, and then grate them on a fine grater.


Sprinkle the top crust with chopped yolks, and decorate the sides of the cake with whites.


To make the liver cake even more elegant, you can decorate it with a carrot or tomato rose and herbs or onion arrows.


I recommend putting the finished treat in the refrigerator for a couple of hours for soaking. Then cut into portions, or serve whole with a cutting knife and a spatula for easy serving on plates.

Other options for cake fillings

Nut-garlic filling

One of the easiest and most delicious fillings for this snack can be made with a mixture of mayonnaise (sour cream), mustard sauce, chopped walnuts and crushed garlic. Nuts give a pleasant taste and crunch that goes well with the dish. Thanks to the nuts, the appetizer turns out to be even more satisfying and nutritious.

Ingredients:

• mayonnaise or sour cream - 350 - 400 ml
• walnuts –20 pcs.
• garlic - 4 prongs
• black pepper - 0.5 tsp.
• mustard sauce - 2 tbsp. l.
• hard cheese - 70-100 g (for decoration).

Preparation

1. Chop the shelled walnuts very finely with a knife. Of course, it would be much faster and easier to grind the nuts with a meat grinder or knead on a board with a rolling pin. But I do not advise you to do this, since mashed and ground nuts lose the desired crunch, unlike chopped ones.
2. Grate or crush the garlic in a mortar.
3. Mix mayonnaise (sour cream) with mustard sauce, ground garlic, chopped nuts. Add ground pepper.
4. Spread the resulting mixture over the liver cakes. Garnish the top with a sprinkle of grated cheese.
5. Let it brew and soak for 1-2 hours and serve.

Filling of pickled cucumbers and boiled corn

This type of filling gives the appetizer a special piquancy, a combination of pleasant sweetness with sourness. This filling option is very convenient, as it cooks quickly and reduces the time for the hostess. In this case, you do not need to fry vegetables. You can use ready-made canning.

Ingredients:

• pickled or pickled cucumbers - 6 pcs.
• canned corn (boiled) - 1 can (340 g with liquid, 280 g grains without liquid)
• sour cream or mayonnaise - 250 g.

How to cook

1. Grate cucumbers or chop with a knife into small strips.
2. Open a jar of corn, strain the grains from the liquid.
3. Combine corn and cucumbers.
4. Put the cakes of the snack cake in turn on a flat dish. Each cake is lightly greased with sour cream (1-2 tbsp. L.). Then on each cake we spread about 2 tbsp. l. filling, which we evenly distribute. Then we repeat the procedure with the next cake and so on until the end.
5. When deciding on the amount of filling, be guided by your own taste. Decorate the top with olives, herbs.

For lubrication and connection of liver cakes, you can also use processed salty cheese of a soft consistency.

Simplified version of the cake

Some housewives do not like to cook this snack cake because the process of cooking and frying the cakes seems time-consuming to them. First you need to fiddle with grinding the offal, then the cakes either burn in the pan, or break when they are awkwardly turned over. To simplify the process as much as possible, I suggest taking note of the recipe for a pancake-liver cake.


The essence of the preparation is to first fry about 15 patches (thin pancakes) from a dough based on milk, eggs and flour (you will need about 0.5 liters of milk, 3-4 eggs, 190 g of flour).

Then you need to take 500 g of liver, 1-2 carrots, 1-2 onions, chop and stew everything together or fry until tender.

Pass the liver with vegetables 2 times through a fine sieve in a meat grinder to make a pate. Add salt to taste and spices into the pate. If the pate is dry, add a few tablespoons of sour cream or mayonnaise to it.

The resulting pate should be smeared with pancakes, which are laid out on a flat dish in turn. Decorate the top with the appetizer of your choice.

And here is the video recipe:

The New Year and Christmas holidays are not over yet, and for those who love liver dishes, I offer a recipe for an excellent snack cake. Beef liver liver cake turns out to be tasty, satisfying and looks beautiful on a festive table.

for pancakes:

• 600 g beef liver
• 3 raw eggs (in photo 2, but you need 3)
• 2 tbsp. l. flour
• 150 ml milk
• salt, pepper to taste
• vegetable oil for frying

for the layer:

• 1 large onion
• 1 large carrot
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 150 g mayonnaise or 75 g mayonnaise + 75 g thick natural yogurt
• vegetable oil

for decoration:

• a handful of walnuts
• greens

Cooking method:

First, let's prepare the dough for the liver pancakes, from which we will assemble the cake.

Wash the beef liver, cut it into small pieces and turn it twice in a meat grinder.

Beat 3 eggs well with a whisk.

Mix with a mixer (preferably) or a large whisk liver, eggs, 2 tbsp. l. flour, 150 ml of milk, salt and pepper to taste. The liver pancake dough is ready.

Now, in a small frying pan in vegetable oil, we will bake thin (if possible) pancakes, turning them over with a wide spatula, the widest you can find.

I got 5 pancakes with a small makeweight, which I also fried and ate with pleasure. By the way, I checked the pancakes for salt, a little undersalted, which means I'll add the filling. If I oversalted, the filling would not be salted at all.

Let's prepare a layer for the liver cake. We clean and finely chop the onion, and three carrots on a fine grater. Then sauté the onion in vegetable oil until transparent.

Add the carrots and continue to fry over low heat until the carrots are soft.

Add garlic passed through a press to mayonnaise. By the way, you can quickly prepare mayonnaise yourself, it is much tastier and healthier than store-bought mayonnaise. See the recipe here. Half of the mayonnaise can be replaced with natural yogurt, it will turn out to be no less tasty and not so fatty.

Mix onion with carrot and mayonnaise with garlic. I add a little salt, because the pancakes are not salted enough.

Each pancake, except for the top one, is generously greased with filling. The top one is just mayonnaise.

Here we have such a cute beef liver cake.

We will use walnuts for decoration. First, lightly fry them in a dry frying pan, stirring constantly.
