Today I want to offer you a recipe for magnificent liver cutlets with semolina, which turn out to be delightfully tender and usually like both adults and children. And for the dish to succeed, you need to consider a couple of important points:
- When buying, it is better to give preference to a fresh product, since frozen is less useful. When choosing a liver in the market, we must evaluate its appearance: it should not contain spots, mucus, blood clots and the remnants of spilled bile. The absence of an unpleasant odor is another indicator of high quality.
- Before cooking, it is necessary to soak the liver in cold salted water (20-25 g per 1 l) for 2-3 hours, previously cutting it into pieces and removing the films and large bile ducts. This procedure will help get rid of the bitterness, which is especially characteristic of pork offal.
Interesting! The liver is useful in the presence of easily digestible iron in it, which affects the process of hematopoiesis and increases the level of hemoglobin. Its use in food helps to strengthen immunity, detoxify the body and prevent vascular diseases (thrombosis, atherosclerosis, varicose veins, etc.).
- Cooking time: 1 hour 10 minutes.
- Servings Per Container: 3.
Ingredients:
- beef liver - 500 g;
- chicken egg - 1 pc.;
- pork fat - 50 g;
- onions - 1 pc.;
- semolina - 5 tbsp. l .;
- thick sour cream 15-20% - 1 tbsp. l .;
- baking soda - 0.5 tsp;
- salt and black pepper to taste;
- vegetable oil - for frying.
Tip. Chicken liver can be successfully replaced with beef, especially since it does not need to be pre-soaked, it is only enough to rinse with cold water and remove the films.
Step by step recipe:
- Cut the liver, onion and lard into pieces of arbitrary size. Pass these products through a fine grinder or grind with a blender.
- Lay the egg, salt, pepper and semolina. Put the mixture in the refrigerator for 30-40 minutes so that the cereal absorbs excess moisture and swells.
- Dilute soda in sour cream and add to the minced meat. Mix well.
- Spread the patties with a tablespoon soaked in cold water in a pan with heated oil and fry one side over medium heat for 5-6 minutes. Then carefully turn over and bring to readiness under the lid for 6-8 minutes, reducing the power of the burner to a minimum.
Serve liver patties with mashed potatoes or boiled buckwheat. A salad of Beijing cabbage, petiole celery and fresh cucumbers with your favorite dressing will not only add benefits, but also perfectly complement the dish.
