Do you have to have flour to cook liver or can you make it without it

I prefer using a thin layer of flour when cooking liver. - Alena

Pork liver is as delicious as beef liver. Your recipe is simple, tried and true.

alenatrs

Thank you! Glad you enjoy the recipe :) - Alena

can we adapt this ?

Guest

Can you do this without the milk, or does this help soften and help break the liver down, problem is I am allergic to milk

alenatrs

Almond milk can work as well, but it may change a bit the taste of the liver. - Alena

Not a Big Fan

Guest

Im typically not a fan of liver, but I live on a farm and the bacon stash is low so I cooked the pork liver according to this recipe. It was bomb. Ill probably cook it again, which is not something I've ever desired of liver.

This was a fantastic dinner idea!! The liver was very tender and mild flavored. I did soak the liver in milk for about 3 hours. This is by far one of my favorite liver recipes.

I am a meat lover, I don't like liver a lot particularly but it is a great source of vitamins as it turns out, so I tried your recipe and now I am a fan of liver. It was so damn delicious, I still have its taste back in my mouth when I am telling about it. And the onions were the icing on the cake. I liked it a lot, great recipe.

alenatrs
