Fried liver is a tasty and nutritious dish that can be served with vegetable salad, mashed potatoes or rice. Everyone likes a tender and juicy liver, but many have noticed that some housewives have a tender and juicy liver, and some have a tough one.
In order for the fried liver to please you and your loved ones with your taste, consider some of the nuances:
- for frying, choose a fresh, shiny liver with a slightly dense structure. When pressing on it with a finger, the hole should disappear very quickly;
- before work, be sure to rinse the liver and remove the film and bile ducts. If you do not do this, the liver will be bitter and hard;
- before frying, soak the prepared liver in milk. Time can vary from 1 to 3 hours. As a last resort, soak it in ice water. After soaking in milk, the liver will become softer and a specific smell will be removed from it;
- cut the liver into sufficiently thick pieces (thickness 1-1.5 cm). If you cut the pieces thinner, then the liver will not be juicy after frying;
- Put the liver in a well-heated pan with vegetable oil. When laying out the liver, the oil should sizzle. If you fry the liver in a pan that is too hot, it will burn on the outside, but remain raw on the inside. If you fry the liver in a pan that is not hot enough, then it will turn out dry and tasteless;
- the time of frying the liver depends on the size of the pieces. The best guideline in this matter is the color change of the product: as soon as the liver changes its color on a cut to half the thickness, then the liver should be turned over. Fry the liver on each side for about 1-2 minutes. Overcooked liver becomes tough;
- salt the liver at the end of frying or even after frying. The liver, previously seasoned with salt, will become tougher;
- check the readiness of the liver by piercing it with a sharp knife. Clear juice should come out of it. If blood is secreted from the liver, then the liver is not fried.
