Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef or chicken liver
- 250 grams button mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 medium onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
- 250 milliliters milk (for soaking the liver)
Instructions
Rinse the liver gently under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Slice the liver into thin, bite-sized pieces.
Place the sliced liver in a bowl and cover with milk. Let it soak for 20 minutes to remove any bitterness. Drain and pat dry.
In a shallow bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Lightly dredge the liver slices in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the liver slices in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the liver from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Reduce the heat to medium, then add the sliced onions and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden and tender.
Return the cooked liver to the skillet and gently stir to combine with the onions and mushrooms. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
