About pancakes

It is curious that the word pancakes in ancient times, depending on the area, had a different transformation. But it had a common root "oleum", which means oil. Many people associate the emergence of this name with the goddess of beauty and spring Lada. In 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, honey.
To date, there are a lot of recipes for pancakes. Vegetable (squash, carrot, potato, bean pancakes), fruit - berry, nut and even pancakes made from porridge and "yesterday's pasta".

If you have never cooked liver pancakes yet, do it right away! Personally, I do not always manage to fry the liver in pieces so that it turns out soft and juicy, while beef liver pancakes are a win-win option. Of course, the recipe, as always, is not without secrets, but I will tell you all of them in order.

Every mother knows that feeding a child with liver dishes can be extremely problematic, but I have not yet met children who would not like the delicious and soft liver pancakes made from beef liver.

Juicy, soft, with a sweetish taste of the liver, such liver pancakes from beef liver for a child, fly away with a bang with mashed potatoes, pasta, or cereal porridge, and, of course, with vegetable salad. Plus, it's just a good culinary idea when you don't know what to cook from offal or meat for every day.

For liver pancakes, young veal liver is best suited, it is small in size, so you can easily distinguish it from the beef liver of an adult animal. If you are dealing with beef liver, then it needs to be soaked in milk for a longer time so that the bitterness and specific taste of the liver disappear. Chicken liver, rabbit liver, and turkey liver are also suitable for this recipe for liver fritters.

The ingredients listed below make a fairly large amount of beef liver fritters and work for about 2 hours. If you haven't changed your mind yet, let me tell you in detail how to cook beef liver pancakes - a recipe to be soft and juicy.

Ingredients:

• 1 kg beef liver
• 250 grams (2-3 pcs) potatoes
• 150 grams (1-2 pcs) onions
• 500 ml milk
• 3 eggs
• 3 tablespoons of rusks
• vegetable oil for frying

How to make beef liver pancakes:

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 streaks, and cut into small pieces, about 4 * 4 cm.

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

We take out the liver from 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 them into small pieces 2 * 2 cm.

We also peel the onions and cut them like potatoes.

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

If there is no blender, then the potatoes and onions need to be grated on the smallest grater, like on potato pancakes. You do not need to cut the vegetables into pieces beforehand.

In a deep bowl, combine the liver puree with a mixture of potatoes, onions and eggs. Add crackers, salt and pepper. As you might have guessed, we make beef liver pancakes without flour. Instead of flour, the recipe uses breadcrumbs, making the beef liver pancakes soft and juicy.

Mix thoroughly our dough for beef liver pancakes. It should come out like thick sour cream and be easy to pick up with a spoon.

If the dough is thin, add another 1 spoonful of breadcrumbs 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 to be 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 breadcrumbs if you are going to use this recipe.

Heat a frying pan with vegetable oil on the stove. After the pan has heated up, reduce the heat. Then spread the liver dough with a tablespoon in a skillet.

The useful composition of the liver has a large list of trace elements, minerals, amino acids, vitamins and enzymes, as well as "good" cholesterol. It also contains a lot of protein. Beef is more valuable than pork and poultry. It belongs to diet food. The calorie content of the dish according to the classic recipe is about 145 kcal / 100 g.

Making pancakes starts with buying quality products. Signs of a fresh liver:

1. Uniform color with a predominance of brown shades.
2. The smell is sweetish, reminiscent of milky. Sour amber, on the other hand, indicates that the product is stale.
3. The cut site is moist and has a porous structure.

Attention! Even on the farm, good products are eliminated from blood vessels, lymph nodes, and the gallbladder with its ducts.

Pork liver dish

Pork liver is more juicy and fatty than beef liver. In appearance, it is distinguished by a light tone. And the composition is somewhat poorer. But this does not prevent you from getting delicious pancakes from it, for which you will need:

• liver - 0.5-0.6 kg;
• onion - 1 pc.;
• egg - 1 pc .;
• wheat flour - 2 tbsp. l .;
• salt - 1/2 tsp;
• ground black pepper - a pinch;

Liver pancakes with semolina are tasty. It replaces traditional flour in the recipe. Pour some water over the cereal before cooking. In 10-15 minutes. semolina will absorb moisture and swell. Drain the rest of the water and start kneading the dough. The composition of liver fritters according to this recipe:

Chicken Liver Tortillas

Chicken liver, like meat, is light and relatively poor in nutrition. The fritters come out of it tender and soft. The offal is easier to process and prepare for frying. The dish according to the following recipe is consumed even by those who do not like the liver.

Pancake Ingredients:

• liver - 0.5 kg;
• semolina - 4 tbsp. l .;
• onion - 1 pc .;

The less oil, the more delicate the structure and taste of the pancakes. To avoid spilling it, you can wipe the pan with an oiled napkin. Or put a half of a potato on a fork and, dipping it in a saucer of oil, process the surface of the pan with a cut point before each batch of pancakes.

What is your favorite liver dish?

Liver pancakes: video

The benefits of the liver are undeniable, but unprovable for the younger generation. Most children and adolescents diligently ignore a product that is very necessary for their body. Not wanting to get into conflict, smart mothers prepare liver pancakes from beef liver, the recipe for 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 for a pound of offal), an egg, seasonings and flour - 3-4 spoons, how many minced meat will take. 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 added. As a result of mixing, a mass is obtained, with a consistency similar to the dough for pancakes 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 preheated pan, the pancake is fried on both sides.

A curious note: the option with carrots

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

Liver pancakes with rice

If the offal is unexpectedly not enough, you can get out of the situation with dignity and without taste loss by offering the family rice-liver pancakes (they are equally good from pork liver, chicken and beef). The offal (suppose the same half a kilogram) is pureed with two small onions, flavored with seasonings and salt, mixed 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 tablespoons of soy sauce to the minced meat - the taste is simply amazing. Tortillas are fried without any frills, but it is better to serve them with sauce. For him, finely rub a 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, in general it will turn out amazingly.

Liver-mushroom delight

This time, French liver pancakes are offered. The recipe (its successful embodiment looks at you with the photo) pleases with an exquisite result worthy of respect even for an avid gourmet. Chicken liver is recommended, but I think its other types of taste will not spoil. A kilogram of offal is taken half a kilo of champignons. They should be chopped and sautéed with finely chopped onions. If you want uniformity, you can put the mushrooms in a blender along with the liver and two more onion heads. If you want to more clearly feel the mushroom note, add the mushroom frying to the ready-made minced meat. The mass is peppery, salted (you can add other seasonings), two eggs are driven in, flour is added, the "dough" is mixed - and you can start baking. The French advise to do this quickly so that a crust forms immediately, and after another ten minutes put out. But you can just fry it well.

Gourmet pancakes

When preparing beef liver liver fritters, the recipe very often advises adding vegetables to the minced meat. And the most common option is 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 tough, the dried fruit should be scalded or soaked until soft). All these components are ground into minced meat. Fresh juicy zucchini is rubbed coarsely; excess juice is filtered through a colander. Both masses are mixed, the minced meat is seasoned (in this case, the use of ground red 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 pork liver pancakes, it is a good idea to dilute it with something. Unlike beef or chicken, pork offal is somewhat fatty. Cabbage makes it surprisingly tender pancakes. 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 passed through a blender. In addition to flour and spices, a spoonful of medium fat sour cream is also added to the finished mass. We knead diligently, check for salt and spices, and then bake "pancakes".

Fritters with baked

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 liver, onions, eggs and flour. The main zest will be brought by the heat. For him, you can offer several options:

• finely chopped fried mushrooms with onions;
• steep eggs, crumbled 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 baking in this way: the cakes are laid out in a frying pan, the filling is neatly attached on top of them. When the bottom grasps and turns brown, the pancakes deftly flip to the other side. If you want, you can also put the heat on top. Then fry the "pancake" under the lid.

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

Liver cake is also an interesting move. According to the selected recipe, pancakes are prepared (you can make them larger, like pancakes), stacked and smeared with mayonnaise “cream” with crushed garlic and herbs. Wait until soaked and serve.

To make more lush pancakes, flour in them can be replaced with semolina, only you need to take more of it than flour: for half a kilogram of minced meat 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 liver pancakes quickly, about two minutes on each side. To overexpose them in a frying pan means to lose their taste and softness: you get a rather bland, harsh "sole".

Otherwise, there is nothing difficult in making liver pancakes. A recipe with a photo will help you decide which additions you prefer to add to the basic version. As soon as you decide - feel free to start cooking.
