LIVER DUMPLINGS



Liver Dumplings image

My mother used to make this wonderful dumpling served in broth. German in origin, this dish tastes so much better than it looks. You will be going back for seconds and thirds. My mother would grind the liver in her own meat grinder. I never had one, but if I caught the butcher at the supermarket in a good mood he would do it for me.

LIVER DUMPLINGS



Liver Dumplings image

This was my dad's way of making sure we got our weekly dose of liver. It's one of those 'by guess and by golly' recipes that he never wrote down. Most of the time he added it to soup, but once in a while he ladled it over noodles and fried onions.

ABSOLUTE BEST LIVER AND ONIONS



Absolute Best Liver and Onions image

This recipe will turn liver haters into converts. Very simple! The three things that will set your liver above all others are: 1) soak in milk, 2)turn liver as little as possible and 3) don't overcook!

Provided by JSHULER43

Categories     Everyday Cooking

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds sliced beef liver
1 ½ cups milk, or as needed
¼ cup butter, divided
2 large Vidalia onions, sliced into rings
2 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Gently rinse liver slices under cold water, and place in a medium bowl. Pour in enough milk to cover. Let stand while preparing onions. (I like to soak up to an hour or two - whatever you have time for.) This step is SO important in taking the bitter taste of the liver out.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Separate onion rings, and saute them in butter until soft. Remove onions, and melt remaining butter in the skillet. Season the flour with salt and pepper, and put it in a shallow dish or on a plate. Drain milk from liver, and coat slices in the flour mixture.
  • When the butter has melted, turn the heat up to medium-high, and place the coated liver slices in the pan. Cook until nice and brown on the bottom. Turn, and cook on the other side until browned. Add onions, and reduce heat to medium. Cook a bit longer to taste. Our family prefers the liver to just barely retain a pinkness on the inside when you cut to check. Enjoy!

TAS KEBAP (A GREEK BEEF OR LAMB STEW)



Tas Kebap (A Greek Beef or Lamb Stew) image

This is a very simple stew, made either with beef or lamb, that is very good to eat. Traditionally, it is served atop a rice ring (buttered rice that you have molded in your bundt pan to give an attractive appearance) or homemade french-fried potatoes. It is sublime served with Hunkar Begendi (recipe #95402) - a Turkish Eggplant Cream.

Categories     Stew

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs stewing beef or 2 lbs lamb, cut into 1 inch pieces
2 large onions, chopped
1 -2 garlic clove, minced
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons minced parsley
2 -3 large ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded and pureed (enough to equal approximately 1 lb) or 1 (1 lb) can plum tomato, pureed
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup white wine
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (personal preference)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (mediterranean is best)
1 bay leaf
2 whole cloves (as in the spice)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a medium-size saucepan over medium neat until hot and saute the cubes of meat, in batches, until browned; remove with a slotted spoon as the meat browns.
  • In the oil in which you have just browned the meat, add the onions and garlic and saute until just starting to turn golden, about 6-7 minutes; return the meat to the saucepan.
  • Add the pureed tomatoes, sugar, wine, parsley, cinnamon, oregano, bay leaf and cloves and season to taste; cover pot and simmer on low until meat is fork-tender- this could take anywhere from 1 to 1 1/2 hours; fish out the 2 cloves; if, at any time, the gravy has reduced too much (there should always be some thick liquid), add hot water in 1/4 cupfuls.
  • You should be left with very tender meat in a thick, rich sauce, into which the onions have melted.
  • Serve with a rice ring: molded buttered rice, cooked egg noodles, french-fried potatoes or Hunkar Begendi (recipe#95402).
