COOKBOOK: Charmaine Solomon’s Asian Collection
I know some of you will turn your heads on this recipe but liver is actually very good for you.
To reduce some of that ‘liver taste’ that doesn’t seem to sit well with many, soak the liver in milk before cooking. I personally think just leaving it in water for 20mins or so is sufficient and I actually like the taste of it.
Great and simple recipe to make!
You never know until you give it a go!
Enjoy
