How do you cook liver? Actually, I did not mean to ask that question. My point on this short article is how you prepare the liver before cooking.
So how do you clean pig liver or cow liver before you cook it? Or specifically, how do you lessen the liver-y smell or taste?
Some say soak in vinegar. Some say pre-cook for a short while, etc.
What we discovered is to simply cut and wash well, and then before cooking, about half an hour, soak in water that can be easily drained. So it could be in some deep bowl and the cut liver in some strainer, which can be easily lifted up and out and washed.
Do this every 5 minutes, and you would notice that the water will always be red, for why not? Liver is doing blood cleaning, so it is just naturally soaked in blood. And the blood in liver is what makes it taste and smell liver-y.
Once the blood in the liver is removed, or kept to the minimum, then the taste and smell will be very different.
So if you need to eat high-protein meat, which is usually liver, try this one. You'll like it!
