Recipes for brisket and liver

Princess_Jane

I've been really OS today and bought a piece of brisket and some ox liver from my local market.

The liver was only 89p for LOADS, but I'm not sure how to cook either.

My OH won't eat the liver if he knows what it is - any ways of disguising it?

thanks

I cooked brisket yesterday from a recipe I found by Googling "brisket recipes". Basically you can either slow roast or pot roast it and cook it for several hours. Ours was lovely.

I also love ox liver and would cook it like any other liver, fried simply and only until it's pink. You can also casserole it although that's not to my taste. You can't really disguide liver as anything else but if it's the actual tast of ox liver he dislikes you can make the taste less strong by soaking it in milk for a while. This also works well with kidneys for those who aren't too keen.

I love liver and a family favourite is a simple dish. Coat the liver in flour mixed with herbs (dried or fresh) and shallow fry. yum

M.E.

My husband dislikes liver and kidneys but eats pate...

so when I have liver (fried or casseroled) I leave some to get cold then I whizz it up, with or without breadcrumbs, then put it in a pot in the fridge.
It's nice on toast and OH will eat it.
I think it is the texture of liver rather than the taste.
Worth a try and you can always eat it if he doesn't

I often use finely chopped liver as one of the ingredients in meatloaf, if I've any about. Mix it three parts mince (or two parts mince, one part chopped cooked meat) to one part liver when you add to the bowl - comes out fine, doesn't taste particularly "livery", but adds a richness and depth to the mix.

Also, I used to enjoy soup and liver-dumplings in the canteen while I was working in Germany, don't have a recipe myself but this might be something worth looking at if you can find one?

That having said, I don't normally have a problem with this sort of thing 'cos I do love a good liver dinner

Good luck, hope it turns out well!

Edit: recipe for liver-dumplings here - dead simple, but added a meatiness and substance to a bowl of soup. Worth a try!

liver stroganoff - made the same way as with steak (ie mushrooms, cream, herbs, etc). It was a delia recipe in one of the weekend papers (sorry don't have copy for exact recipe) but I'm sure it will be on her website

I have always looked at the kidneys, livers and hearts in the shops thinking 'gosh they're cheap' but don't have the guts to try them?

I do eat faggots so am not averse to eating fat/liver but its pre-done so kinda out of sight what i am really eating.

Any recipies for a 'offal' beginner?
