Getting started cooking

The Georgian recipe is quite simple in Georgian. Even an amateur will cope with cooking. Chicken liver should be thawed, washed thoroughly and, cut into small pieces, put in a small deep bowl. Then you should pour it with wine, vinegar, add bay leaf and barberry. Then cover the container and put it in the refrigerator for about two hours.

When time passes, we pour the liver with the marinade into a small deep frying pan and begin to simmer it over medium heat, closing it with a lid. Periodically stir the dish. When all the liquid has evaporated, put the onion, cut into rings, into the pan, add five tablespoons of olive oil, coriander, salt and pepper. After adding a little fire, fry the liver for seven to ten minutes, stirring often.

After removing the pan from the fire, remove the bay leaf from it and spread the liver in Georgian style into plates, decorating each serving with red onion rings. Serve should be with Georgian pita, bought in a tandoor.

Cold appetizer

It has a pronounced aroma of cilantro and a sweet and sour taste of tomatoes. This Georgian liver recipe will definitely be to your taste; it is designed for two weighty portions.

Half a kilogram of chicken liver is washed and cut into large pieces. Roll each in salty flour and fry in a pan for ten minutes, turning over. When the liver gains a golden crust, the fire can be reduced, and cover the pan with a lid and hold on the stove for another five minutes. The main thing is not to overdry. We lay the finished liver on paper towels so that it cools down and gets rid of excess oil.

We cut a large tomato into cubes, a red onion into thin half rings, and traditionally chop the cilantro. Fill the aromatic mix with a teaspoon of 6% apple cider vinegar and a pinch of suneli hop seasoning. When the liver has cooled, the ingredients can be combined, add finely chopped garlic, a little salt as necessary, mix thoroughly, sprinkled with vegetable oil. As mentioned above, the dish is served cold.
