Ingredients
Product | amount |
Beef liver | 600 g |
Sour cream (oily) | 3 tbsp. l |
Onions (large) | 1 head |
Vegetable oil | 2 tbsp. l |
Salt | 1 tsp |
Soda | ⅓ tsp |
Bay leaf | 1-2 sheets |
Step cooking
- Before cooking, beef liver (600 g) must be prepared. It should be washed in water, wiped with a paper towel, remove films and ducts (if necessary). Then cut the liver into small, thin strips and transfer to a convenient container.
- Peel onions (1 head), peel, rinse in water, cut into two parts and cut into half rings.
- Add vegetable oil (2 tbsp. L.) To the pan, put onion and fry until soft.
- Put the chopped liver to the onion, sprinkle with salt (1 tsp), soda (⅓ tsp) on top, mix well, cover and simmer for 3–5 minutes. Thanks to soda, the finished liver turns out to be incredibly soft, because it is a weak alkali, it softens coarse fibers and speeds up the process of preparing meat products. The main thing is not to overdo it. Some advise you to pre-sprinkle the liver with soda, leave it for 30-60 minutes, then rinse thoroughly in water and proceed to further cooking. So if you are in doubt whether to put soda or not, try this option. She will just do her job, and you can easily remove it.
- Next, put sour cream (3 tbsp) in a pan, bay leaf, mix the products, cover and simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes until the liver is soft. It is necessary to stir the dish periodically so that the sauce does not burn.
- Braised liver in sour cream is ready. Enjoy your meal.
