Ingredients
Product | amount |
Chicken liver | 700-800 g |
Onion | 1 PC. |
Hard cheese | 100 g |
Salt | taste |
Ground black pepper | taste |
Sour cream | 3-4 tbsp. l |
Flour (for breading) | 0.5 stack |
Vegetable oil (for frying) | 50 g |
Step cooking
- First we prepare all the products. We wash the liver (700-800 g) well, remove everything superfluous from it, cut it into small portions and put it in a bowl.
- We add salt to the liver, add black ground pepper to taste. We put it aside for now - let it get salted. And we will cut the onions.
- We clean one large onion, wash it and cut it into quarters.
- Hard cheese (100 g) three on a coarse grater.
- All products are prepared. You can start frying. In a pan, heat 50 g of vegetable oil. Pour half a glass of flour into a small bowl. Pieces of the liver are breaded in flour and in small batches we fry the liver until golden brown on both sides. The liver is cooking very fast. It is enough to fry it literally for 1 minute on each side. Remove the fried liver on a plate with a spatula and fork and fry the next portion.
- When we fry the last batch of liver, fry the onions in the same oil. The onions should not be fried too much, but only slightly stewed.
- Add fried onion to the liver. Here we add 3-4 tablespoons of sour cream. Mix everything carefully so that the pieces of the liver do not break.
- We shift the liver into a baking dish. If the mold is non-stick, it does not need to be lubricated. If the form is ordinary, then before spreading the liver, it must be lubricated with vegetable oil.
- Sprinkle the liver with grated cheese and send to the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for 10-15 minutes. The cheese should melt and a golden crust should form on it.
- As soon as the cheese is melted and slightly browned, the dish is ready. You can serve it to the table.
Ways of decorating and serving
Sauces can be served with baked liver. For example, pesto sauce is good. It is not necessary to look for it in stores, but you can cook it yourself. It is made from basil leaves, parmesan cheese, garlic, nuts (better than cedar) and olive oil, whipped in a blender to a fairly rough consistency, and not to a puree state.
Also, a light zaziki sauce, which is prepared from grated, peeled cucumber skin, finely chopped dill and parsley, several garlic cloves passed through a press, is well suited to the liver. Dressing is made from unsweetened low-fat yogurt, lemon juice with spices and vegetable oil.
