      Today, I made a dish I prepare often – beef liver, topped with a marinade of olive oil, parsley, and garlic. I paired it with crispy fries and a refreshing salad made of fresh cabbage. For me, it’s the perfect combination, but I’m curious – how do you prepare liver? Do you have any special tricks or spices you use to make it even better? 🤔

        Well, on this occasion I can’t give you an opinion, because I have never cooked liver. I have eaten it once, but I don’t like it very much.

        I have to tell you that your dish looks very good, I don’t know if it’s because of the marinade, but it looks appetizing (its appearance is what usually repels me the most). Those potatoes and cabbage look like the perfect complement. Bravo!

          @Beatriz Torija We often prepare liver (chicken, veal, pork, and even goose). It is prepared differently depending on the species. For example I fry the chicken with a lot of onions in a slightly sweet sauce. I cut this beef into thin steaks, rolled them in flour and flash-fried them. Then I cover them with a marinade that matches perfectly. Sometimes I make it with mashed potatoes, and in winter I also serve sauerkraut. One day I will make it for you so maybe you like it 😁

          That looks delicious! I love the flavor combination you used, and the marinade with olive oil, garlic, and parsley must give the liver an incredible touch.

          At home, we usually prepare it with a marinade of garlic, vinegar, paprika, cumin, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. We let it marinate in the fridge overnight, and the next day, we cook it with just a little oil and keep it covered to retain its juiciness. We always serve it with a salad or some rice.

          Have you ever tried marinating it before cooking? I wonder if it would change the texture and flavor in your version. It looks amazing!

            @Sussan Estela Olaya Thank you, Sussan! Your marinade sounds absolutely delicious—such a rich combination of flavors! I haven’t tried that exact version, but now I’m really intrigued. Letting it marinate overnight must make a huge difference in both taste and texture. I’ll definitely have to give it a try next time! Do you have a preferred cut of liver for this recipe?

              @lanamihajlovic So exciting that you’re going to give it a try! You’ll definitely notice how the marinade enhances the flavors and gives it a softer texture.

              As for the cuts, it really depends on the preparation, but at home, we usually go for thinly sliced beef liver. It turns out amazing because it absorbs the marinade well without being too overpowering.

            This looks amazing Lana, with the marinade I’m sure the flavor is spectacular. I love liver in all its versions. I make one with green peppers , vinito blanco and eggs that is super rich , it is cut into not very large cubes. I have the recipe written down. I’ll look for it later and pass it on to you. I also make chicken livers with lots of onion, wine …I will pass it to you as soon as I have a little time😉.

            Love

              @Maloles Muñoz That sounds great. When you have time, send the recipe, I’m really interested in how it turns out. Sussan also gave me the idea to marinate them before frying. Sometimes we put veal or beef liver in milk over night, that way it’s juicier.
