New Year's salad with liver
Description
Minimum effort — excellent result. Before cooking, experienced housewives recommend soaking beef liver in milk. This simple trick makes the liver more tender and removes any bitterness it might have. Only after soaking should you remove the membrane. Place the liver in cold water, add a couple pinches of salt, a whole onion, and optionally parsley root, if available. Cook until done. Assemble the salad in layers, spreading each with mayonnaise, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. The finished salad can be refrigerated until ready to serve, then garnished just before bringing to the table. Now, read my recipe in detail—I'll tell you more. You can serve it immediately.
