How to cook a liver
Before cooking, beef and pork liver must be cleaned. Remove all vessels, veins and remove the film by picking it up with the tip of a knife and pulling it slightly with your fingers, without sudden movements.
If you did everything right, the film will come off easily and quickly, without tearing.
We cut the washed and cleaned liver into portions and pour boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Any liver can be used. If you pour boiling water over the product, the unpleasant odor will disappear, and the texture will be soft.
