A couple of days ago I noticed some canned liver spreads at the grocery where I usually shop; and as I was about to reach for a can, a thought came to me: Unwanted Additives! I decided I'd make my own liver spread, instead. :P
Ingredients:
- Liver (i used pork, around 1/4kg)
- onion leaves, cilantro,
- bellpepper (1 large or 2 med sized ones)
- ginger (around an inch long)
- garlic (i used a whole bulb)
- cumin (1 tsp)
- Italian seasoning (1 tsp)
- juice of one lemon
- Worcestershire sauce (few dashes)
- salt, pepper
- cooking oil (optional)
Procedure:
- Slice the liver into small sizes then place in pot. Add in the other ingredients, except for the c.oil.
- Once cooked (adjust seasoning, if you want), transfer to a blender/food processor.
- Process until you are satisfied with the consistency. If you find it a bit dry, add oil but not too much.
- That's it!
- I stored the leftovers in the freezer (divided into "serving sizes").
I must say, I was a very satisfied person that day! I added mayonnaise and diced red onion to the liver mixture, then slathered it into a pair of toasted wheat-cranberry bread slices, topped with tomatoes and cilantro. I also paired it with crackers, which I liked. The next day, I added some to our omelette (with some cheese). Will definitely be making another batch again, once it's all gone.
This is definitely healthier than the canned version! :P
