Among offal, it is the liver that is distinguished by nutritionists as a useful and indispensable food product. This is due to the fact that it contains a large amount of iron, which is necessary for the functioning of the blood-forming organs. Especially recommended to use the liver to children and pregnant women. The goat liver is considered the most useful, but it rarely appears on market shelves. More common on sale is beef. It has a dense structure and it is from it that beautiful chops are obtained.

Instruction manual
1
In order to cook chops, choose a large piece of liver weighing at least 500 g. Fresh beef liver has an even dark red color and is slightly slippery to the touch. Remove films and large ducts from it. If you bought a fresh liver, then slightly freeze it in the refrigerator, it will be much easier to cut into portions. Cut it into flat pieces of at least 1 cm thick. Soak the chopped liver in milk for 30 minutes.
2
Beat the liver. In order to prevent splashes, the liver spread on a cutting board should be covered with food-grade plastic wrap. Beat on both sides with a wooden hammer or rolling pin very carefully, otherwise the liver will “corrode”. Beat the egg, add salt and pepper. Immerse the liver in this mixture, hold in it for about 10 minutes.
3
Cook the flour. Roll each piece of liver in flour and fry in vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry on each side for no more than 5 minutes. Otherwise, the liver will turn out to be stiff. The readiness of the liver can be checked by piercing it with a fork. If no blood is released, the liver is ready.
Instead of flour, breadcrumbs are sometimes used.
4
You can fry the liver and batter. To make a batter, beat the egg, add salt, pepper, half a glass of milk and two tablespoons of flour to it. Mix thoroughly again so that there are no lumps. Dip the broken liver in batter and fry in vegetable oil. If you plan to fry the liver in batter, then in milk you can not soak it.
