1. Fry liver, what to pay Attention to

Liver should always be seasoned after roasting. The liver can become hard by seasoning with salt before roasting. This means that the fried liver is usually seasoned just before serving. I prepare calf liver, beef liver, pork liver and chicken liver in this way.

2. Fried Veal Liver and Veal Liver with Balsamic Vinegar

The veal liver is a very fine ingredient and should be cut into even slices. About 0.8 cm thick is just right. The veal liver must be cleaned beforehand. The skin is removed (from the whole liver) and the liver is freed from inedible. This is done by the butcher or butcher for you. Veal liver in balsamic vinegar is a true classic and tastes excellent. Offal is very compatible with acidity, as we know from sour manure. The vinegar and the offal certainly had something to do with preservation in earlier times. Use for the liver with balsamic vinegar a high-quality and expensive balsamic vinegar. The better the balsamic vinegar, the better the sauce.

3. Roasted Beef Liver

The liver with balsamico recipe can also be prepared with beef liver. Beef liver has a slightly coarser consistency. Beef liver is also often breaded and baked out. The liver is first turned in flour, then in egg and then in breadcrumbs and baked out in plenty of fat. I would like to deal with this elsewhere.

4. Liver Berlin Style

Leber Berliner Art is liver prepared with apples, onions and sauce. The liver is turned in flour, fried, onions and apples are fried in the same pan, the sauce is prepared with gravy or veal jus and the liver Berliner style is also served with fried fried onions. My knowledge is, “Berliner Art” describes a preparation method (apples/onion/sauce/roasted onions/potato puree) and it can be used both veal liver, pork liver or beef liver.

5. Must Liver be turned in Flour?

This question is asked again and again and I would like to answer it here quickly. The turning of the liver in flour should support a gentle browning, at the same time the flour is good for the binding of the sauce. You can also do without the flour. I do that very often and that answers the question. You don’t necessarily have to turn the liver in flour before frying. Watch my cooking video, there I show the roasting of the liver step by step.
