Yes… Liver and Onions. Now, don’t knock till you try it. Perhaps this isn’t normal dinner in your household, but, it’s pretty common at my house. At least once a month I make liver and onions served over rice. Let me share with you how you can make it.
What you need:
1 container of chicken livers or 1 tray of beef livers (your choice, but they really taste same)
1 small yellow onion
soy sauce
cumin
salt
pepper
minced garlic
How to prepare:
1. Place the liver in a container. Add the following 1/4 cup of soy sauce, 1/2 tablespoon of cumin, 4 minced garlic cloves and mix so the liver is covered with the spices. Add salt & pepper to taste. Let this sit in the fridge for about 1 hour to marinate.
2. While the liver is marinating in the fridge, take the yellow onion and cut it into little/thin slices. I normally cut the onion in half and then slice it really thin.
3. Take the liver out of the fridge and place in a skillet. The burner needs to be set on high heat. Make sure you add a little bit of oil to the skillet. Let the liver sear for about 5-7 minutes. Make sure you stir it so it doesn’t burn or stick to your skillet. Once the liver is seared, add the sliced onion and lower the burner to low heat. You will need to cover the skillet now. Let the liver & onions simmer for about 10 minutes.
4. Serve the liver & onions over plain white or brown rice. and.. Enjoy!

The photo, it’s true, does not exactly look appetizing. But liver and onions really is a delicious dish.

Please take down the photo. It makes me not want to eat. And eating is my favorite thing to do.
