This easy liver and onions recipe is so tasty with the added apples. A hubby and kid-pleaser, this one is quick to make.
The best liver to use for this is calves liver. Although it is usually more expensive, it really is worth it. It's the tenderest and mildest in flavour. Next in quality is baby beef liver and then lamb liver.
If you are using a stronger flavoured liver, such as beef, pork, or sheep, it is advisable to soak it for several hours in milk.
To use the liver, wipe it first with a damp paper towel, and then remove the thin outer skin and any veins. Never cook it too long, as it will become tough.
The addition of the apples to this recipe brings a sweet taste to the finished dish, making this a kid friendly dish for sure.
