/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I eat a lot of liver, OP, shit's good when prepared properly. Or as a paté.

>>12588052
I eat liver stewed with bacon every day, and my stomach looked like a pot of spaghetti because there were so many worms in it. Go vegan you will be able to literally fly like John Sakars

I used to eat it with lots of onions black pepper and lemon juice, but i hate cooking it

>>12588052
Cut in small pieces
Onions
Garlic
It's delicious, but very sparingly
I think one time a month is enough for me to get tired of it

>>12588052
I do though. It's cheap as shit compared to other proteins.

>>12588052
I wish they'd add liver to spam and hot dogs

>>12588147
Why must you lie to me?

>>12588052
As an older Brit, I remember they used to serve this as a school meal at least once a week, albeit overcooked and dried to hell a bit like leather.

Can't beat a nice piece of liver, mash and onion gravy.

>>12588160
liverwurst is pretty close to that

I like liver also hearts are tasty I just put them in pies and chillies or stew so the family doesn't know there getting vitamins

because I can't find any fava beans or a nice chianti

>>12588160
Buy a handgrinder for practically nothing and make your own sausages.
A mix of fatty pork like belly or chuck and heart and liver is amazing. I like to use a white wine rusk in mine, but you don't have to. I also grind a little carrot and/or onion in there both because it bulks the sausages without sacrificing taste and because it helps clear the grinder.

Check out Scott Rea on Youtube for a lot of practical advice for beginners too.

I'll eat any meat, if it doesn't taste good I'll figure out how to make it taste good

Good Liver is 45€ per kilo here.

>>12588052
It's a garbage pail.

>>12588754
That is fucking grim.
It's like €5 a kilo where I live in Denmark and I'm still bitching about that being too expensive.
Maybe you just have a different idea about "good liver", though. I'm happy with a fresh one from a pig.

>>12588754
Where the blazes do you live?
I checked out the price of decent supermarket Pigs Liver (Sainsburys) and it worked out as 2.45 Euros per Kilo.
Lambs liver about the same.

Gib recipie anon, chicken liver is dirt cheap here but idk what to do with it

>>12588808

Because you're eating disgusting old beef liver. Veal liver is way more expensive.

I do ocasionally. Shit's cheap and good.

>>12588052
>pic
what's wrong with chicken livers?

>>12588817
What I do:
>cut liver in cubes
>heat oil in pan
>stirr onions, carrots and bell peppers, til soft
>add liver
>garlic, tomato paste, chili powder, paprika, whatever spices you want, stirr
>add red wine and let it evaporate
>beef broth, salt, pepper and simmer
>serve on rice

>>12588857
>old beef liver
literally says fresh pig liver in the post

>>12588052
i do though.

>>12589617

This Bordeaux color is clearly an old beef liver. Just look at the size of it.

>>12588052
Iv always wanted to try kidneys and liver
Can you give me a quick run down on what they taste like and texture they have

>>12589581
I did something similar and served it over mashed potatoes. Shit's 10/10

>>12589656
Nice. I personally ain't a big fan of mash, but I do eat it from time to time with a big scoop of caramelized onions on top, and some nutmeg.

ORGAN meats are BEST meats
Prove me wrong!

Salt, onions, maybe some garlic, meats .... AMAZING

>>12589581
That's how I do it
That's how my mother does it
That's how my grandmother did it

Works amazing with mashed potatos
Also works with rice, but it has to be "sticky" rice

>>12589640
I don't know what to say, anon.
If you're retarded enough to think you know better than the guy who bought and ate the fucking livers I don't think there's any point in trying to argue with you.

no one mentioned the best liver which is poultry liver

>>12589790
*human

>>12589793
no way

A good liver is very tasty, I make mine with lightly fried potatoes and an apple/mustard based sauce. Liver can be tricky to cook properly without turning it into something so well done it's practically inedible though. I prefer liver to other organs though. Heart is a close second for me.

>high in Environmental Protection Agency
??

i fried it once 4 minutes per side and it seemed dry. wat do?

>>12588052
Liver Sausage is made out of ground liver, right?
I eat Liver sammies with onions and mayo and some salt. Delicious.

>>12588817
slice a shallot and a couple of garlic cloves v finely
sweat in a spoon of butter with some thyme
add a large glass of desert wine (port or madiera is good) and a dash of brandy (whisky also is nice)
add your livers (soak in salted water for a few hours before), and then blitz with 400g melted butter, 3 eggs, and cook in the oven at 120c in small cup moulds for about 15 minutes (you want a little wobble, but not runny)
Rest at room temp for a minute, then set in the fridge, and cover with melted butter to set (or some jelly if yr feeling fancy)

>>12588052
I swear this is like the ultimate super food hidden in plain sight. Liver is less expensive than any steak cut, yet it is like 10000x more nutrients. I ONLY BUY CONVENTIONALLY RAISED LIVER BTW AND IT IS STILL AMAZING LOL

>>12588052
I don't like the taste

>>12590977
Organ meat is the ultimate pleb filter

I wish i could eat liver but just the thought of it turns me off. A guy on youtube recommended mixing some in with ground beef. I may try that sometime.

>>12591154
I love liver, but I'm going to try that anyway.

>>12588052
I don't like how it tastes.

>>12588052
Because I'm not poor, or from the 3rd world

>>12589650
Can’t tell you about kidney because I haven’t tried it but I can give you a rundown on liver. Obviously this varies on the type of liver. In general, livers from poultry tend to be more mild than beef liver, and veal liver is more mild than beef liver

Texture wise, liver is very soft and tender. It almost turns into a paste in your mouth. The flavor is similar to that of the meat of the animal, but much stronger and maybe a bit more “gamey”. Thus it’s best served in a dish with some sautéed vegetables (a la liver and onions) or as a purée or pâté. Give it a try, it’s not so scary

>>12588055
it's best to eat raw
that way you can assess the health of the animal
flavor and texture are really dependent on properly raising the livestock its sourced from

>>12589650
kidneys are saltier
similar nutrient profile so I would just stick to liver
better to get other offal like glands, brain, heart if you want to difersify

Is cod liver an okay substitute for a humble pescatarian

>>12589650
cooked liver is like boiled egg yolk that tastes like ass
raw liver has nice soft gelatinous texture that is easy to eat

>>12588052
Shut up retard, don't tell them or it will become more expensive for us.

>>12588052
we used to eat it when I was a kid. never again. it just smells way too iron-y. like a used maxi pad or a placenta or something.

>>12592644
The only good part of the cod is the tongue

>>12592644
Love me some cod liver on rye bread.
It's not cheap the way liver from pigs and cows is, though.

>>12588147
It's, um. It's low protein. Don't call it "a" protein. God damn. People like you.

>>12593027
Beef liver
26g protein per 85g

Beef steak (ribeye)
24g protein per 100g

You don’t know shit

>>12593387
Correction: 26g per 100g* for the liver

>>12593388
Idiot.

>>12593395
Cope retard, you just got BTFO liver is literally higher in protein than steak

>>12593027
What the fuck made you think liver would be low in protein?
What do you think a liver is made of?

>>12592888
smoked cod liver is the shit. It spreads.
Don't have too much of it, though. It's very rich and you'll be sick if you stuff yourself.

>>12589581
Cringe. Just cook the sliced liver.

>>12593411
His recipe sounds good pleb
