About pancakes

It is curious that the word fritters in ancient times, depending on the locality, had a different transformation. But it had a common root "oleum", which means oil. Many associate the emergence of this name with the goddess of beauty and spring Lada. During these times, pancakes were baked according to the same recipe, which was based on butter and eggs. Over time, pancakes began to be served with sour cream, jam, various jams, and honey.
To date, there are a huge number of recipes for pancakes. Vegetable (zucchini, carrot, potato, bean pancakes) fruit and berry, nut and even pancakes from porridge and “yesterday's pasta”.

Ingredients:

• 1 kg beef liver

• 500 ml milk
• 3 eggs
• 3 tablespoons of crackers

How to cook liver pancakes from beef liver:

You need to prepare the liver in advance. It is best to do this in the evening, if you are going to cook beef liver pancakes in the morning. Wash the liver under running cold water, cut out all the white veins, and cut into small pieces, about 4 * 4 cm.

We send the liver into a deep bowl, and fill it with milk. We send the liver to the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.

We take the liver out of the refrigerator, drain the milk, and grind it in a way convenient for you. I twisted the liver in a blender, but you can use a meat grinder.

Peel the potatoes and cut into small pieces 2 * 2 cm.

Onions are also peeled and cut like potatoes.

Put the potatoes and onions in a blender, add the eggs, and grind into a powder.

If there is no blender, then the potatoes and onions need to be rubbed on the smallest grater, like potato pancakes. You don't need to cut the vegetables beforehand.

In a deep bowl, combine liver puree with a mixture of onion potatoes and eggs. Add crackers, salt and pepper. As you may have guessed, we cook beef liver pancakes without flour. Breadcrumbs are used instead of flour in the recipe, making beef liver pancakes soft and juicy.

Thoroughly mix our dough for beef liver pancakes. It should turn out like thick sour cream, and it should be easy to pick up with a spoon.

If the dough turned out to be liquid, add more breadcrumbs 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough reaches the desired consistency.

I do not recommend adding flour to liver pancakes instead of crackers, then the pancakes will turn out not so airy. If there are no crackers, it is better to add the same amount of semolina. Flour should be added to the dough instead of crackers if you are going to cook according to this recipe.

Heat up a frying pan on the stove vegetable oil. Once the pan is hot, reduce the heat. Then spread the liver dough with a tablespoon into the pan.

What is your favorite liver dish?

Liver fritters: video

The benefits of the liver are undeniable, but unprovable for the younger generation. Most children and adolescents diligently ignore a very necessary product for their body. Not wanting to get into conflict, smart mothers prepare beef liver pancakes, the recipe of which is simple and easy to implement, and the result suits even the most desperate whims. However, adults are no less willing to use the proposed dish, repeatedly asking for an additive.

simple pancakes

The most elementary, basic liver pancakes from beef liver include, in addition to the main product, onions (a large head per pound of offal), an egg, seasonings and flour - 3-4 spoons, how much minced meat takes. The onion with the liver is passed through a food processor, meat grinder or blender, an egg is driven into them, spices, salt and flour are poured. As a result of mixing, a mass is obtained that has a consistency similar to dough for fritters or thick sour cream. The further process is no different from baking pancakes: minced meat is scooped up with a spoon, laid out on a heated frying pan, the cake is fried on both sides.

A curious note: the version with carrots

If you are fed up with ordinary beef liver pancakes, the recipe can be enriched with vegetables. The addition of ordinary carrots gives a very interesting effect - both the vegetable and the offal have a slightly sweet taste, which is why they combine just fine. One fairly large root crop is added to the above ratio of the same products. If everything else is ground again, then it would be better to grate the carrots on a fine grater and add them to the already prepared minced meat. After kneading, pancakes are fried traditionally.

Liver fritters with rice

If the by-product unexpectedly turned out to be not enough, you can get out of the situation with dignity and without loss of taste by offering the family rice-liver pancakes (they turn out equally well from pork liver, chicken and beef). The by-product (suppose the same half a kilogram) is mashed together with two small onions, seasoned with seasonings and salt, kneaded with an egg and separately cooked rice (three-quarters of a glass). It is better to take sticky rice, for example, round Krasnodar, then you can do without flour. For originality, you can add three spoons to the minced meat soy sauce- the taste is simply amazing. Flat cakes are fried without any frills, but it is better to serve them with sauce. For him, finely rub the cucumber and a small piece of parmesan (or other favorite cheese), mix and combine with half a glass of low-fat sour cream. If you also add finely chopped fresh herbs, it will generally turn out amazing.

Liver mushroom delight

This time French liver pancakes are offered. The recipe (from the photo its successful embodiment is looking at you) pleases with an exquisite result, worthy of respect even for an avid gourmet. Chicken liver is recommended, but it seems that other types of taste will not spoil it. Half a kilo of champignons is taken per kilogram of offal. They should be chopped and fried with finely chopped onion. If you want smoothness, you can put the mushrooms in a blender along with the liver and two more onion heads. If you want to feel the mushroom note more clearly, add champignon frying to the already prepared minced meat. The mass is peppered, salted (you can add other seasonings), two eggs are driven in, flour is poured in, the “dough” is mixed - and you can start baking. The French advise doing it quickly so that a crust forms immediately, and then simmer for another ten minutes. But you can just fry well.

gourmet pancakes

When preparing liver pancakes from beef liver, the recipe very often advises adding vegetables to the minced meat. And most often there is an option with zucchini. However, we offer a much more interesting and elegant version. For her, a third of a kilogram of offal is taken, a medium-sized onion and a handful of dried apricots (if it is too hard, the dried fruit should be scalded or soaked until soft). All these components are ground into minced meat. Fresh juicy zucchini is coarsely rubbed; excess juice is filtered through a colander. Both masses are mixed, the minced meat is seasoned (in this case, the use of red ground pepper and soy sauce will be successful) and supplied with flour. And we already know how to fry such a dish.

An unexpected combination

If you are making liver pancakes from pork liver, it would be nice to dilute it with something. Unlike beef or chicken, pork offal is somewhat fatty. Cabbage makes surprisingly tender pancakes from it. It should be taken almost half the amount compared to the liver. The result of the work will be even more successful if you add a few cloves of garlic and carrots to the minced meat. All components are held through a blender. In the finished mass, in addition to flour and spices, a spoonful of medium-fat sour cream is also added. We diligently knead, check for salt and spices, and then bake "pancakes".

Pancakes with bacon

This is the name of the filling, which does not hide inside the culinary masterpiece, but is laid out on liver pancakes (photo below). Minced meat can be made without any additions, only from the liver, onions, eggs and flour. The main zest will be brought by the pripek. There are several options for it:

• finely chopped fried mushrooms with onion;
• hard-boiled eggs chopped with herbs (green onions are especially good in this regard);
• grated cheese with garlic.

Vegetables are also suitable - both raw (with bell pepper, for example, you get the effect, as if you baked it in the oven), and fried (zucchini, cauliflower etc.). Pancakes are fried with salt in this way: cakes are laid out in a frying pan, the filling is neatly attached to them from above. When the bottom is seized and browned, the pancake is deftly turned over to the other side. If you want, you can also put a bake on top. Then you need to fry the “pancake” under the lid.

There are people to whom the original product seems bitter or does not like its specific aftertaste, and therefore they are in no hurry to cook pork or beef liver pancakes. The recipe advises not to give it up delicious dish, and soak the liver for half an hour in milk. Aesthetes and gourmets can replace milk with wine - the taste of the cakes will turn out to be completely noble, especially if you pour a little wine after soaking into the finished minced meat.

The liver cake is also an interesting move. Pancakes are prepared according to the selected recipe (you can make them bigger size, like pancakes), are stacked and smeared with “cream” of mayonnaise with crushed garlic and herbs. Wait until soaked and serve.

To get more magnificent pancakes, the flour in them can be replaced with semolina, only you need to take it more than flour: half a kilogram of minced meat is about a glass. You will get very tender liver pancakes from beef liver. The recipe only recommends that after mixing all the ingredients, stand the “dough” for 20-30 minutes so that the cereal swells.

Fry pancakes from the liver should be fast, two minutes on each side. Overexposing them in a frying pan means losing their taste and softness: you will get a rather bland, harsh "sole".

Otherwise, there is nothing difficult in building liver pancakes. A recipe with a photo will help you decide which additions you prefer to make to the basic version. Once you decide, feel free to start cooking.
