For the price of $1.30 and a cup of rice, my lunch is
perfect!
I know some people are not fond of hearing the word
"liver". People even say yuck as soon as the word jumps out of one's
mouth, instantly visualizing it as a gross thing when in fact everyone on earth
has it. Well, I for sure is not one of
them and love it! I grew up having Liver moment at home. Yesterday, I bought some
from our local grocery and plan to make a lunch for me today. Just thinking
about it brought memories from my childhood years and it was all good. So I got
this little tab containing a few chicken livers for the price of $1.30, enough for a meal or two,
depending how much of the memories come back.
My saliva starts dribble inside my mouth and can't wait to
have some although I don't really buy too often because of some concerns but
whenever I miss home, it does help the homesickness feeling. My dad usually
makes liver with onions but this time I decided to make it a little different. I
use garlic instead of onions and it turned out good just like home.
Prepare rice - one cup of rice, 2 cup water and let it boil.
As soon as it starts boiling, turn down the stove, letting it steamed until
liquid disappears. I am not an every
rice eater so a rice cooker is out of my budget.
Next, wash the liver by running hot water through in a bowl
and drain.
Ingredients:
3 Tbps vinegar
3 Tbps soy sauce
6 garlic cloves
3 Tbps olive oil for cooking
First, I heated the pan with the olive oil in it. I'm using a
cast iron pan which I really enjoyed using. As soon as it starts heat up, grab
the drained liver and transfer to the pan.
Stir them around, cooking each side at least 2 minutes, oil covering
each of them. Then add the vinegar which will sizzle a bit, add the soy sauce
and lastly the mince garlic. Garlic is a good antibiotic and the vinegar will
cook the liver easier plus other benefits of vinegar. Mix them all up and cook
a little bit more for 10-15 minutes, depending how you want it to be cook. The
longer you let it cook, the liquid will turn stickier and liver drier. And you're done.
Serve with rice. Yum!!!
