Liver can be used to prepare a wide variety of dishes. Extremely simple and aristocratic sophisticated. Hearty, capable of serving as a full-fledged dinner, and light, for a snack between main meals. There are many recipes: chicken liver can become a bowl of rich soup, a heap of pancakes, a brew that gurgles deliciously in a pot ... But always and everywhere it will retain its main quality - it will remain incredibly healthy. True, the offal has a rather specific taste, which is not to everyone's liking. But this can be answered with the words of an old joke: you just don't know how to cook it!

Useful properties of chicken liver

Today it is difficult to imagine, but once the liver was considered a product of the poor, unworthy to appear on the tables of wealthy people. However, why is it difficult? Even today, one can hear the opinion: they say, this product is unhealthy and harmful, because in the body it is only doing that which cleans the blood of all rubbish. Nothing like this! If, before being on your plate, the liver did not belong to a sick bird, there are practically no harmful substances in it. But vitamins, minerals and other "usefulness" - more than enough.

The liver contains many vitamins and minerals

Which ones?

1. In any liver, especially in chicken, you will always find many minerals, the main of which is iron. It is thanks to him that doctors recommend this most useful by-product for the nutrition of patients with anemia. Plus, it is full of selenium, which is essential for the normal functioning of the thyroid gland.
2. The liver contains a lethal amount of vitamin B9, without which the circulatory system cannot function properly. And also vitamin A, which is responsible for immunity, vision, hair, nails and skin. It also contains the most important vitamin C, E, and B for our body.
3. Heparin, which is also present here, helps to regulate blood clotting.
4. 200 g of liver contains the daily dose of amino acids necessary for humans.
5. Finally, chicken liver contains only 3% fat, which is why it has every right to be called a dietary product.

How to choose the right one and where to store it

In order not to rely on the conscience of sellers, which is not always crystal clear, remember a few simple rules. When choosing a product for your table, look at ...

1. Color. A good liver will be brownish with a noticeable red or burgundy tint. A greenish tint indicates the presence of bile, which will make the finished dish taste bitter, too light or yellowish - that you are dealing with the liver of a sick animal, orange - about re-freezing, and gray will tell you about the expired shelf life.
2. Smell. A healthy fresh liver smells subtle and slightly sweet, but a sour smell warns of a poor-quality product.
3. Condition. Smooth, shiny and free of suspicious spots and specks, this product is a worthy candidate for your dish. Sticky and dull - trash can contender.

Prefer chilled over frozen liver

When buying a liver on the market, do not hesitate to ask the seller for a certificate that his product has been verified by the veterinary service, and in the store do not forget to check whether the product has expired and whether its packaging is intact. You can check the offal sold by weight in two other ways: press your finger on it and see if there are any dents, or ask permission to slightly cut the product. If the inflowing blood turns out to be too thick and dark, refuse to purchase.

Fresh liver can be stored for about 12 hours at room temperature and for about 2 days in the upper section of the refrigerator. The frozen one will calmly lie in the freezer for 3 months, but at the same time it will lose some of its nutrients.

How to handle

Usually, chicken liver does not need to be soaked in milk or water - it already turns out to be quite tender and rarely tastes bitter. But if you want the perfect result, take a few minutes to process the product before you start cooking it.

1. Rinse the liver with cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Or leave in a colander and wait until the water is completely drained.
2. Remove membrane knots, veins, and ducts if found. But it is usually not necessary to peel off a thin whitish film from the surface of a chicken liver - it is too thin and, unlike beef liver, will not spoil your finished dish.
3. If you find greenish bile stains in your purchase, carefully cut them out as well. Remove excess fat at the same time.
4. To prevent the appearance of a bitter taste, you can soak the chicken liver in milk or kefir for an hour or two. This is an optional condition, but it won't do any harm.
5. Option for gourmets: rub pieces of prepared offal with mustard and let them sit for 30-40 minutes. This will make the dish especially tender and savory in taste.
6. To rid the product of a bright recognizable smell, it is recommended to fry it with a thin slice of lemon.

Salt the liver shortly before the end of cooking, otherwise it will give off juice and become dry and tough.

What to cook - step by step recipes

The dishes that can be made from the liver are slightly smaller than the stars in the sky. Well, well, even if this is a slight exaggeration, but for many centuries mankind has really learned how to cook from a seemingly unpresentable offal. Soups, salads, cutlets, browned pancakes, stews with vegetables, liver cakes snack bars ... Whatever you plan - a modest family dinner or a festive dinner - the liver will always be in place.

The liver can be the highlight of the festive table.

Salads and snacks

Let's start with the simplest: light snacks that can be placed on the table before serving the main course.

Liver pate from Julia Vysotskaya

This is not just a paste, but a real palette of flavors! Moreover, it is collected from the simplest, but ideally combined with each other products: onions and peppers for spiciness, nutmeg for sophistication, cognac for piquancy, butter and cream for tenderness and depth of taste. And as a result - well-fed smiles of guests and a storm of applause for the hostess.

So, you will need:

• chicken liver - 300 g;
• cream - 100 ml;
• onion - 1 pc.;
• cognac - 100 ml;
• butter - 20 g;
• nutmeg - 1 tsp;
• red and black pepper, salt.

Cooking.

1. Peel the onion, cut in half and chop into thin half rings.

   

   Onion pieces can be of any size, they still have to go through the blender

2. Saute the onions in butter. It should become transparent and slightly golden.

   

   Butter will add an extra delicate flavor to the dish.

3. Rinse the liver thoroughly, cut off excess fat from it and divide it into medium-sized pieces with a sharp knife. Send them to the bow.

   

   Do not forget to examine the liver for films and specks.

4. As soon as a pleasant dark crust begins to appear on the slices, add black and red peppers and nutmeg to the pan, and then, at the end, salt.

   

   At this stage, you can add spices and salt.

5. Further, Julia advises pouring cognac over the liver. If you have not cooked dishes with alcohol yet, be very careful at this stage: cognac can flash in a hot frying pan. It is not necessary to shoot down the flame, even more so to pour water. It will go out quickly by itself.

   

   Do not try to flood the flame with water! It will burn itself out

6. Reduce the heat and simmer the liver and onions for another 10-15 minutes, so that the liquid has time to partially evaporate, and then pour cream over everything.

   

   By this time, the liver will be almost ready.

7. Stir well the gurgling thickening mass, remove the pan from the stove and cover with a lid. Now you have to be patient and wait for your future pate to cool down a little. Only then can the contents of the pan be transferred to the blender bowl and chopped until completely homogeneous.

   

   All ingredients must be carefully mixed with a blender.

8. Put the finished snack in the refrigerator overnight. During this time, the pate thickens, infuses and acquires the necessary consistency and rich taste.

   

   For serving on the table, select a beautiful dish for the pate

Too dense pâté can be whipped again by adding a little cream to the bowl, and too thin to thicken with a spoon or two of bread crumbs.

When choosing a liver, you should pay attention to its appearance. It should be dark in color and have a smooth glossy surface. Blood clots, noticeable hematomas and clearly defined vessels, blood - all these are signs of poor quality and not the first freshness of the offal.

The liver should not have a musty odor. A yellowish color indicates that it has been frozen several times.

It is better to buy chilled chicken livers than frozen ones. Then it will not contain a large amount of water, and the size of the pieces will not be halved after cooking.

Secrets of Preparing Chicken Liver Before Cooking

It is imperative to wash the chicken liver in cold running water. This is a very delicate product that can lose its elasticity under the influence of hot water, and then crumble during cooking. This is a rather delicate product in itself, so do not worry about how soft it will melt in your mouth anyway after any proper heat treatment.

Chicken liver usually does not have such a rich bitter taste as beef or pork. But for people with sensitive taste buds, those to whom the liver may seem bitter, you can soak it in cold milk before cooking. Moreover, it must completely cover the product. The longer the chicken liver is in milk, the softer it will be and the more delicate it will taste. Be sure to put the container in the refrigerator for the time of soaking. The optimal time is 0.5-1 hour. After that, the liver should be rinsed in running water and dried with a paper napkin or clean kitchen towel.
