    Liver is one of those things on which there is no middle ground. You
    either love it or you abhor it. I'se in the love camp. Bv)= Never met
    a liver I didn't like ..... except once when my mum bought some "bargain"
    pork liver that had been (apparently) taken from a boar in rut. The
    whole house reeked of strong urine on a hot radiator. We went out for
    chilli and cheeseburgers that night.

    This is how I do liver at home - sometimes I'll leave out the onion and
    that's good too. Bv)=

    Title: Liver, Bacon & Onions
    Categories: Beef, Pork, Offal, Dairy

    2 c Milk
    1/2 lb Bacon
    2 lg Onions
    2 tb Oil
    2 tb Corn flour

    Cut liver into desired thinness. Soak liver in milk

    in the oil and set aside. Dredge liver through the
    flour, salt and pepper mix. Fry liver in a heavy
    skillet until slightly pink in the middle (medium).

    * I often omit this step - especially if using calve's
    or yearling's liver. -- UDD

    I don't bother with the flour. Just pan fry in butter / olive oil
    mixture for like 3-4 mins a side. Comes out tender and amazing.

    When Gail gets the urge for liver and onions, we will tend to go out to
    the local Silver Diner. No smell, no wash up -- just good eating.

    That will work. As will using bacon drippings. According to the popular

    Liver is one of those things on which there is no middle ground. You either love it or you abhor it.

    True dat.

    I am not fond of fish livers. Michael and others have spoken highly
    of monkfish liver, something which I have not had the opportunity
    to sample, but I can tell you that pike liver is pretty gross.

    I've no experience of fish liver - with the exception of cod liver oil

    Title: Monkfish Liver Terrine w/Ponzu Sauce
    Categories: Seafood, Offal, Wine, Citrus, Vegetables
    Yield: 3 servings

    1 Monkfish liver
    Sea salt
    Sake
    500 ml Water
    1 (4") piece dried kombu;
    - broken in half
    80 ml Soy sauce
    60 ml Lemon juice
    1 tb Rice vinegar
    80 ml Kombu dashi
    2 tb Mirin (sweet cooking sake)

    MAKE THE KOMBU DASHI: Place the piece of kombu in a bowl
    and cover with the water. Leave to soak for 6 to 12
    hours. Strain the dashi through a fine sieve lined with
    a triple layer piece of muslin cloth or a couple of
    kitchen paper sheet

    PREPARE THE LIVER: Pour salt all over the liver and
    leave it to drain on a trivet for an hour. The excess
    moisture and blood will drain away

    Rinse the salt away with some sake (or water).

    Pick the nerves and veins with the tip of a knife.

    Dry well with some kitchen paper.

    Place a large piece of cling-film on a kitchen counter/
    and or bamboo mat. Place the liver one third of the
    way and roll. Make sure the cling film doesn’t penetrate
    the liver!

    Roll tightly and secure the ends, twisting them and
    making sure the "sausage" is tightly wrapped and no air
    is left inside.

    Secure with kitchen strings if necessary and wrap in
    foil.

    Bring some water to the boil and a steamer and steam the
    terrine/ballotine for 30 mins.

    Leave to cool in the fridge.

    MEANWHILE, MAKE THE PONZU SAUCE BY MIXING: The dashi,
    soy sauce, rice vinegar, lemon juice and mirin.
