Many national cuisines have chicken liver. Indeed, chicken liver is tasty, nutritious, inexpensive, and cooks quickly.
Many reputable nutritionists and gastroetnerologists recommend that this product be included in the diet, as chicken liver is rich in amino acids, minerals and other useful components: vitamins B, A and C, calcium, sodium, zinc, iron, copper. Folic acid, which is so necessary for pregnant women and young children, enters the liver. Those people who regularly eat this product can forget about the multivitamin complexes sold in pharmacies.
Chicken liver improves the functioning of the stomach and intestines. It is enough to eat dishes from the liver only once a month, so that the body maintains the balance of riboflavin - vitamin B2, which is needed for the absorption of iron and the formation of hemoglobin.
Chicken liver is a great product for people struggling with overweight. 100 grams of fried liver contains less than 200 kilocalories, and the protein in it is the same as in chicken breast.
In order to extract the maximum benefit from chicken liver, you need to be able to choose it. A good fresh liver has an even brown color; smooth, shiny, clean surface; there should be no blood clots and large vessels. The orange color of the liver indicates that the product was frozen. A loose surface is a reason to refuse a purchase.
What can be cooked from chicken liver? It can be fried or stewed with various vegetables and in a variety of sauces, prepare a paste or just boil. But I suggest you make pancakes from chicken liver.
Liver fritters
Ingredients:
- chicken liver - 550 grams;
- the middle head of onion;
- two chicken eggs;
- ground black pepper;
- sour cream of medium fat content - one tablespoon;
- salt;
- wheat flour - three tablespoons with a hill;
- vegetable oil.
Chicken liver should be washed under running water, dried, cleaned of fillets and cut. Peel the onions and cut into small pieces. Now put the liver and onion in a blender bowl and beat. If you don’t have a blender, a meat grinder will do.
Beat eggs with sour cream or a fork until smooth, then combine with chopped chicken liver. Add the sifted flour, pepper and salt, mix well the mass. We fry in vegetable oil, like ordinary pancakes.
If you have free time, then I advise you to cook pancakes from chicken liver with semolina.
Have to take:
- chicken liver - 1 kilogram;
- semolina - 4 tablespoons with a slide;
- chicken egg - 1 piece;
- salt and pepper - 1 teaspoon each;
- vegetable oil.
Grind the liver in a blender or meat grinder, add the egg, pepper, salt and semolina, mix well and put in the refrigerator for at least four hours, but you can leave it overnight. Manka during this time will swell and absorb all the excess fluid. Then the minced chicken should be mixed again and fry the pancakes in the usual way.
Ready-made pancakes can be eaten with a side dish or separately, bon appetit!
