Liver cake: chicken liver recipe
Essential Ingredients:
- flavourless vegetable oil - 75 ml (for frying dishes);
- chicken liver - 1 kg;
- small chicken egg - 4 pcs.;
- large onions - 5 pcs. (2 of them are the basis);
- big fresh carrots - 3 pcs.;
- fat mayonnaise on a quail egg - 200 g;
- 3% fresh milk - 250 ml;
- wheat flour - 4 large spoons;
- fresh garlic - 2-3 cloves;
- table salt - pour to taste;
- grated cheese - 80 g (to decorate the dish);
- fresh parsley, dill - (to decorate the dish).
Foundation preparation
Liver cake (a chicken liver recipe requires only simple ingredients) should be started by mixing the liquid base. For this, it is necessary to wash well 1 kg of the offal, having cleaned it of all films, veins and other inedible elements. Next, the meat must be chopped in a meat grinder, putting 2 heads of onions to it. After this, to the resulting mass should be added salt, 3% fresh milk, chicken eggs and wheat flour. As a result of long mixing of all components, you should get a fairly liquid base (as for thin sweet pancakes).
Preparing the filling
Such a delicious and delicate snack will turn out to be much tastier if you use products such as carrots and onions during its preparation. To understand how to make a fragrant vegetable filling for this dish, consider its detailed recipe. The liver chicken cake is formed in exactly the same way as a regular sweet dessert, therefore it is advisable to chop the carrots and onions for such a dish (chop and grate). Further, both components must be fried in vegetable oil, flavored with table salt.
The process of making savory pancakes
To make a delicious and tender liver cake from chicken liver, you need to cook from 6 to 9 pancakes for the 1st dish. Such “shortcakes” are fried in a pan with vegetable oil in exactly the same way as regular sweet pancakes.
Dish formation
To prepare such an appetizer, it is necessary to lay out the ready-made liver pancakes on a flat plate, greasing each of them with garlic mayonnaise and seasoning with sautéed vegetables. As a result of such actions, you should rise a fairly high cake, the surface of which should be decorated with grated cheese and chopped fresh herbs.
How to serve to the table
The finished liver cake (the chicken liver recipe was presented above) should be covered with a plastic bag and refrigerated for a couple of hours. Next, the dish needs to be cut into portioned pieces and presented to the table with a pointed shovel.
