Lambs Liver Recipe?

**Peadar** · 07/03/2006, 1:37 PM

I'm looking forward to a feed of lambs liver tonight and was trying to think of some recipe ideas. The traditional would be to cook it with bacon and onions. Does anyone have some suggestions?

With a nice Chianti?

I don't eat much liver, but I'd just stick to the old dip in flour and fry in butter method. Boring I know.

I don't normally drink on my own and try to avoid alcohol on a school night.

Think I'll stick to the traditional flouring method alright.
Might stir fry some cabbage or something.

My girlfriend's mother usually puts a light coating of flour over it, I think. Whatever she does it's absolutely lovely.

That's right PS, I'm just about to cook some lamb;s liver right now.

Always coat the liver in flour and add a couple of tablespoonful of cooking oil to the pan.
It only takes a few minutes to cook and it's essential to keep an eye on it 'cos liver cooks very quickly and if over cooked will get very hard very quickly.

Yep, Peader, throw in some onions after the liver is cooked and you'll get a lovely meaty taste in the onions from the liver juice.

Boil a rew potatoes plus cook some turnip. Turnip cooks quickly too and is a lovely addition to liver. You can get a nice head of turnip for around 99p to E1.25. Don't get LIDL turnips though, they're mangy ol' things and taste like sh!te. Supervalue or your local butcher are roughly the same price.

Finally, for something green, maybe cook a few garden peas as well.

Liver is a good cheap and healthy BUT should never be eaten more than twice a week as it's, basically, bad for the old system to eat too much of it.

Finally, if you've got any cooked liver left over - you can eat it cold as a snack at lunchtime with some wholemeal bread - very tasty.

Now, what more can ol' Hamish do for ya?Have you spoiled I have. If it wasn't for the good advice of us Galwegians, you Corky Boys would die of starvation.

Yeah I can see why. There was a segment on Sky News (I think) yesterday where they showed people in China eating dog.

One bloke said that he wasn't eating a pet.

My godson Shakedown ate his first meal in a restaurant in China a few months ago and thought that the meat he was eating was strange. Whe he finally found out it was dog , he ran outside and pukes his guts out..

He has a better command of Chinese now so he won't make that mistake again.

I reckon if we saw how animals are slaughtered I'm imagine a lot of us would agree with you about the cuddly lambs bit I suppose.

Not where I am, although when you do find it , it's very expensive. I like lamb chop but not the liver. Not a lot of sheep in Florida. I scared them off I reckon.

Nah, I've always called him that after the Seger song (Beverly Hills Cop 2) - since he was a kid and I'd play it on the stereo - he'd keep wanting me to play it over and over again - he'd squat in front of the speaker nodding away to it so hence the nickname Shakedown. Rory is his real name.

Funny it's so expensive in the US - I found meat very cheap when I was over there.
I'll keep the ol' head down anyway in this thread since it's about sheep.

Beef and Chicken are very cheap, thank God.

I was in Ohio in 1981 and I couldn't believe how cheap steak was. You'd get a massive steak for a rediculously low price. Well, I hope it was steak.

I can stir fry some white cabbage, mangetout, green beans and baby corn with peppers. that will do as my veg.

Love a good old turnip, carrot and potato mash but don't have the time to make it these days.

I'd only have liver about once every two months, hamish.
It's dead cheap and easy to cook.

Yeah, Padar, white cabbage is lovely with liver too. Try this. After you've cooked the cabbage- addit to the pan after you've cooked the liver. Just cook it for a a minute, stirring it a little and you get a lovely meaty flavour added onto the cabbage.

Turnip only takes a few minutes to cook and you can buy it already diced too - just feck it into the micro wave with a little water and it won't take too much time.

TBH I prefer to cook turnip/spuds in a pot on the cooker - but TBF I've more time on my hands than you to do this.

Enjoy your meal anyway Peadar.

Oh, Green Tribe HATES liver.
