How in the hell do I cook it so it’s delicious? There’s one (1) restaurant in my area that does a great job, but I can’t replicate it at home. There’s also a major lack of liver-related content and recipes online.

I would like to know as well. I made liver and onions but it wasn’t that good, tasted like mediocre beef stew.

soak it in a milk and pennies or something

I’ve heard it makes no difference whether you use milk or water, but it’s best to add a little salt to the water to make a brine

Heat up a cast iron pan with some bacon grease or whatever. Slap your liver in it for a bit, then flip it and get the other side. Don't cook it too long, it's best rare. Enjoy it straight, doesn't really need any seasonings. A bit of hot sauce can be nice though.

Some people recommend to soak it in milk first which helps neutralise the gamey taste.

I've always done fine with just thin slices, coating of flour and seasoning then into a med-high heat pan with butter. Fry each side with minimal disturbances (i.e. don't keep prodding it or 'checking' to see if it is done). You can observe the pink colour change slowly from the sides similar to when doing a steak. I just fry maybe 2-3 minutes each side until a nice brown crust forms and the pink has almost gone from the center but that's just how I like it.

I want slippers that look like liver since that liver looks a slipper.

I used to have a pair of slippers that looked like bread rolls. I called them my loafers.

the trick is to not overcook it. it should still be pink on the inside.
soaking the liver in milk for a few hours also help removing the unpleasant bitter taste.
here's a YouTube short with a good recipe

This anon is correct that you should not overcook
But soaking in milk does nothing
I did the experiment last week , two slices soaked in milk
Two slices not soaked in anything
There was no difference that I could taste

how have you been cooking it? in butter or bacon grease?

restaurants have been hit-or-miss for me, like half the time they overcook it and it gets too tough, i think the trick is lower heat

there are some picky eaters that would soak it in milk before cooking, but i don't think restaurants have the time to let it soak, but IMO it tastes fine without the milk step

Sometimes liver gets sprayed with bile because of where it is in the body. Soaking it in milk washes that bile off.

Just visually those look pretty fucking weird lol

They say liver has always been prized by hunters, historically and now; the first thing they eat right after the kill. Kind of the opposite of what you’d want to turn into jerky.

Bought a 3lb pork liver from an organic grass fed high quality local farm. I've made beef liver before, once as liver with onions and once with a Turkish recipe where you fry the liver in oil then use that oil with chili paste to create a spicy sauce for the liver. Neither were spectacular. I suppose I will try this >>19134484 but if anyone has any tips for pork liver it's appreciated.
