How to cook apple chicken liver
1. In order for the liver not to taste bitter, it must be soaked in milk in advance for several hours. Despite the fact that this technique is usually used for pork or beef, we recommend using it with chicken offal.
Cooked liver with apples in a skillet will taste even better. Chicken can be replaced with turkey. She is also very tender and tasty.
2. Then we rinse the liver under running water and dry it. Cut out all films, veins and excess fat. If you notice a yellow-green spot on a piece of liver, then you need to cut it out. This part will be very bitter in the finished dish and can spoil its taste. Cut into small pieces.
3. Peel and rinse the onions under running water. Then cut into thin strips. We are not afraid to put a lot of onions, because with it the dish turns out to be very juicy.
4. Cut off the peel from the apples and peel them. Also cut into thin slices.
5. First, put the onion in a preheated pan with vegetable oil. Fry it for 1-2 minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly.

7. Now add the apples. Stirring constantly, fry on low heat for 3-5 minutes, until the liver and apples are golden brown. Turn over all the ingredients very carefully to maintain the shape of the slices, otherwise you will get porridge.
Advice. If you're cooking an adult liver, you can make a sauce for it. Add a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar to red wine, 2 tablespoons soy sauce and a spoonful of honey. Stir and pour into a frying pan.
8. Then, cover with a lid and simmer for another 2 minutes until all ingredients are fully cooked. Checking the degree of readiness is not difficult. We cut a piece of liver. If there is no blood, then it is ready. Above, the color of the finished liver is light brown, and inside is soft pink. It is important not to overexpose the offal, otherwise it will be dry and tough.
Advice. Salt the liver at the very end of cooking. If you do this right away, the pieces will release juice and become tough..

In my opinion, some products are specifically designed to be played in the same orchestra with others. The combination of liver and apples is just from this category: some brutality and severity of the former is perfectly leveled by the sourness and lightness of the latter. Together - a wonderful duet! If you have never thought about how to cook delicious liver, I propose right now to correct this oversight. You should not neglect the fact that competent cooks (as, indeed, amateur cooks), with a certain experience and skills, can cook the liver so that the finished dish is not inferior in quality to the most eminent meat dishes.
Many are dismissive of the liver, considering it a product of the second category. And in vain! Nutritionists do not in vain recommend including it in the weekly diet: the liver contains, for example, heparin (a substance responsible for blood clotting), which is an excellent prevention of thrombosis. In addition, it contains a lot of high-grade proteins, which the body can easily assimilate, while simultaneously receiving a lot of useful substances.
By the way, did you know that beef liver is often referred to as a vitamin A supplier? 100 g of the product provide the human body with a weekly supply of this valuable vitamin.
In general, it's no secret that apples are a wonderful thing. Delicious and aromatic, healthy and light. These fruits are great in pies, cakes, salads, compotes. Everything is fabulously tasty, but the liver with apples ... This is a separate conversation. Let's talk?
Ingredients:
0.5 kg of liver;
4-5 large apples;
salt pepper;
3-5 tbsp. l. vegetable oil for frying.
The recipe is simple and unobtrusive.
My liver, cut into oblong pieces. To do this better, easier and more beautiful, you can put the liver in the freezer for half an hour beforehand - so it will be easier to cut it.
Wash the apples, peel them, cut them into large thick slices, removing the core (I divide the apple into 8 parts).
In my version, the liver is veal - it is quite soft (unlike beef) and does not taste bitter at all (unlike pork), so I just heat the pan and butter well and spread the pieces of liver. When it comes to beef liver, you can slightly beat it off with a special hammer or process it with a tenderizer. If a piece of pork liver appears on your table, do not forget to carefully remove the films from it.
It takes about 5 minutes to fry the liver. This is enough for the middle of the pieces to be pinkish, but no longer bloody. Add apples, fry for another 2-3 minutes and serve. Don't forget to season with salt and pepper.
Bon Appetit!

Step 1: prepare the liver.
First of all, we check pieces of fresh chicken liver for the presence of gall bladders, if any, then we cut them off with a kitchen knife. We do this carefully so as not to damage their integrity, the gallbladders contain a bitter liquid and if it gets on the liver to rehabilitate it, it will no longer be possible. Then we throw the liver into a colander and rinse it under cold running water from any kind of dirt and blood.Then we dry with paper kitchen towels, put the liver on a cutting board, cut each into 3 - 4 pieces, transfer the slices into a deep bowl, add a little salt, black ground pepper to it and mix the pieces of liver with spices until smooth. We leave it in this form for 5 - 8 minutes.
Step 2: prepare the onion.
While the liver is salting, peel the onions with a knife, rinse the vegetable under cold running water, dry with paper kitchen towels, put on a cutting board and cut the onion into half rings or strips up to 4-5 millimeters thick. We shift the slicing into a deep plate and proceed to the next step.
Step 3: fry the liver.
Pour 4 - 5 tablespoons into a deep plate wheat flour and roll pieces of baking in it from all sides. Then turn on the stove to the middle level and put a frying pan with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil on it. When the fat is hot, carefully put the pieces of liver into it.
Fry them on 1 side 2 - 3 minutes... Then, using a kitchen spatula, turn the pieces over to the other side and fry them for another 3 minutes. Then we reduce the temperature of the slab to a level between low and medium. Pour 50 milliliters of pure distilled water into the pan, cover the container with a lid and simmer the liver until tender and complete evaporation of moisture for 15 - 20 minutes... Then break 1 piece of liver with a spatula. If the shade is gray on its cut, then the liver is fried well. If the inside of the piece is pink, with blood clots, it means that the liver is not ready, in this case we simmer it for a few more minutes and re-check it. Transfer the finished liver to a deep plate.
Step 4: fry the onions.
We do not remove the pan from the stove and do not increase the temperature of the stove. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the container, pour onions into the heated fat and sprinkle with curry powder. Simmer the vegetable, stirring occasionally with a kitchen spatula until transparent, soft and golden brown. This process will take about 5 - 6 minutes.
Step 5: preparing the apples.
Without forgetting to keep an eye on the onions, we prepare the apples. We rinse them under cold running water, dry them with paper kitchen towels and use a fruit knife to peel them. After we remove the stalks from each fruit, cut them into 2 parts, cut out the cores with seeds, put the halves on a cutting board and cut into slices up to 1 centimeter thick. Transfer the slices to a clean deep plate.
Step 6: we bring the dish to full readiness.
After 5 - 6 minutes when the onion has the desired texture and color, add apple slices to it and simmer together 10 - 12 minutes until the fruit is soft. Stir them periodically with a kitchen spatula, but do not get carried away, as the apples soften, they will become very brittle, so we try to mix the vegetable with fruits carefully so that the slices do not lose their shape very much. When the apples soften, add pieces of the already cooled liver to them, very carefully mix all the components of the dish with a kitchen spatula, cover the container with a lid and warm up 5 - 10 minutes... After that we lay out the liver with apples and onions in portions on plates and serve.
Step 7: serve the liver with apples.
Liver with apples is served hot as the second main hot dish. If desired, it can be served with any side dish you like, for example, boiled rice, mashed potatoes, stewed, steamed or boiled vegetables.
But even without these additions, this dish turns out to be simply magnificent! An ideal light aperitif for this dish is dry red grape wine, lovers of soft drinks can be offered juices from any grape varieties or pomegranate juice! Enjoy!
Bon Appetit!
In addition to the spices specified in the ingredients, other spices can be used, for example, cinnamon, coriander, cloves.
If possible, it is worth replacing sunflower oil olive, it does not have a rather sharp specific aroma of sunflowers.
It is worth using sweet and sour apples for this dish, but if you only have sour fruits, do not get discouraged while stewing apples, just add 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey to the pan.
