yummy way to eat liver

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
the other day, we made a sort of... duck "pate", that had only a mild liver flavor, for those who don't like liver.

I fried up a chopped onion, garlic, and mushrooms in duck fat (and a little white wine vinegar to remove off tastes from the mushrooms). Then I added some meat from our roasted duck, chopped very small (half a centimeter maybe?), and reheated it with the onion mix. Then, I chopped up the raw liver til it was sort of pureed, and added that in. Added salt and pepper to taste, some dried thyme, and fresh parsley. We ate it on bread. It was SO good, and didn't taste very strongly of liver.

I don't have duck in my kitchen now but am looking for a recipe for a kind of meatloaf that would have liver in it ....
any suggestions ? TIA

I'd make your normal meatloaf recipe, and put some pureed liver in it.

(If you don't have a normal meat loaf recipe, I like an egg per pound of ground beef, with some bread crumbs, or cooked rolled oats oatmeal (too much oatmeal and it won't hold together), ketchup, salt and pepper, and then top it with a glaze of ketchup. I suppose it's not the healthiest because of the sugar in the ketchup, but it caramelizes to make a glaze that is so good. you could easily mix in some raw pureed liver, and not taste it.)

That sounds really interesting. I will have to give it a try. Thanks!

thanks for the suggestion Magelet, I've been experimenting, first with cooked onions and garlic but then another 2 batches without onions but with 10 per cent of the meat as lamb liver, 2/3 porc mince and 1/3 beef mince, omitted the ketchup and used powdered garlic, tyme, rosemary and oregano, pepper & forgot to put salt in.

I like it ... my children didn't at first but dh made a kind of gravy so they had a good time playing with that & a friend came over and tasted some & liked it SO NOW they all say they like it too!
