Here’s a classic, flavorful Fried Liver with Onions recipe — tender on the inside, crispy on the edges, and rich in taste.
🧅 Fried Liver with Onions
🛒 Ingredients:
500 g beef liver (or lamb liver), sliced
2 large onions, thinly sliced
1 cup milk (for soaking)
½ cup flour (optional, for coating)
3–4 tbsp olive oil or butter
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp paprika (optional)
1 tbsp lemon juice (optional)
Fresh parsley (for garnish)
👩🍳 Instructions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Liver
Rinse the liver under cold water.
Remove any membranes or tough parts.
Soak in milk for 20–30 minutes (this reduces strong flavor and makes it tender).
Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
2️⃣ Cook the Onions
Heat 1–2 tbsp oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add sliced onions and cook slowly for 10–15 minutes until soft and golden brown.
Remove from pan and set aside.
3️⃣ Cook the Liver
Season liver slices with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Lightly coat with flour (shake off excess).
Add remaining oil to the pan and heat over medium-high.
Fry liver slices 2–3 minutes per side.
⚠️ Do not overcook — liver becomes tough if cooked too long.
4️⃣ Combine
Return onions to the pan and cook together for 1–2 minutes.
Add a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions:
Serve hot with mashed potatoes or rice
Add fresh bread and a simple salad
Garnish with chopped parsley
