Often there are questions about how to cook pork liver so that it is tasty, uncomplicated, unusual and healthy. Liverworts are such cutlets, a good alternative to pate and fried liver. It is never out of place to diversify the menu with new dishes, because the liver is an important product in our diet. And pork liver, as one of the most inexpensive products, will help to saturate not only the stomach, but also the body with all useful elements, minerals and vitamins.

Light, very satisfying and quick to prepare liver cutlets from pork liver can be given even to children, as they are easy to chew and turn out not too fried, rather steamed.

I want to offer my recipe for liver cutlets with semolina. To get minced meat, you can use a meat grinder or blender. I .

Liver cutlets

We will need:

  • Pork liver - 700 grams;
  • Semolina - 6-7 tbsp. spoons;
  • Egg - 1 pc.
  • Onion - 1 pc.
  • Salt, pepper - to taste.
  • Oil for frying.

How to cook minced meat for liver cutlets

Crack an egg into a bowl. If the eggs are small, then you can take 2 pieces.

Add a few tablespoons of semolina to it. This product will help "hold back" liquid minced meat. Adjust the amount of semolina by the volume of the liver. If during the cooking process the minced meat seems liquid, then semolina can be added a little at any stage of cooking.

Mix well the egg with semolina until smooth. While other ingredients are being prepared, the porridge will swell and acquire the desired consistency.

Peel a large head of onion from the husk and cut it into large pieces.

Grind the onion with a blender (meat grinder) to a state of porridge. Pour the resulting mixture into the semolina.

Mix everything gently until smooth. Drain all the onion juice into a bowl, let the porridge absorb the liquid. The better the semolina swells, the less it will be heard in the cutlets.

Free form chilled. If vessels and veins come across, they must be cut out and thrown away.

Grind the liver in any way. Try not to leave tangible pieces.

Add minced liver to the porridge and mix thoroughly. Salt and season with pepper to taste.

How to fry

Heat vegetable oil well in a frying pan. Pour a little less oil for frying than on pancakes. Spoon the minced meat carefully with a tablespoon. Despite the slightly liquid consistency, the liver mass will not spread over the pan.

To make liver cutlets soft, they do not need to be fried to a dense crust. As soon as one side is fried to a light brown color, the liverworts must be turned over.

Cutlets are fried quickly. They turn out, though not very high, but not at all. Put the finished liverworts into the pan. There they will “reach” a little, become soft and excess oil will drain to the bottom of the pan. If for some reason the cutlets turn out to be undercooked (which is unlikely), then they can be stewed a little in a saucepan in the oven or on fire.

Pork liver cutlets will go well with any side dish: porridge, potatoes, pasta. As for me, the main thing is not to forget to serve them with home preservation: cucumbers or tomatoes.

The culinary history of the use of the liver is quite mixed. Either it is considered a valuable delicacy, or a product unsuitable for food. But discarding all prejudices, dry scientific facts indicate that this is a dietary offal (it contains up to 3% fat of the total mass), rich in vitamins. The most expensive liver is in poultry fattened without movement (foie gras). But even from its more accessible species, you can cook many delicious treats, for example, liver cutlets.

It is best to start your acquaintance with liver cutlets with this elementary recipe. It does not have a long list of ingredients, but at the same time, the finished cutlets come out surprisingly tender, and by coaxing the minced meat with various spices to taste, you can give the finished dish its own unique relish and zest.

For a small saucepan, take:

  • 500 g of liver;
  • 110 g onion;
  • 1 chicken egg;
  • 50 g flour;
  • 5-10 g of heavy cream or sour cream;
  • 50 ml of drinking water;
  • any vegetable oil for frying;
  • salt, spices and herbs to your own taste.

Step-by-step algorithm of actions:

  1. Remove the husks from the onion heads and cut them into quarters so that it is convenient to pass through a meat grinder. The washed liver is also cut into pieces of medium size. Twist both of these products in a meat grinder or blender. The liver is an organ that removes harmful substances from the body, so special attention should be paid to its preparation. The product should be washed very thoroughly under cold running water from the remnants of blood, which contains all the harmful substances.
  2. An egg should be driven into the liver-onion mass, pour in a little cream, salt, spices and flour. Stir vigorously until smooth. Ready minced liver will rather resemble dough for baking pancakes.
  3. A frying pan with vegetable oil should first be heated to the maximum flame, then reduce the intensity of the fire to medium and you can start frying. Put the minced meat with a spoon, form not thick cutlets and fry them for 3-5 minutes on each side until cooked.
  4. After the last cutlet has moved from the pan to the pan, add drinking water to this container and simmer the cutlets over low heat for about five minutes. This procedure will greatly increase the tenderness and softness of finished products.
