I do not rmember anything like this, but I bet it smells familiar because grandma made everything. they grew all their own veggies and raised their own animals. Even made their own whiskey and wine. It was legal then. Going to try this recipe..thanks.

Post by: TentHunteR on January 28, 2012, 10:04:34 AM: I'm one of those weird ones who loves Liver & have since I was a kid; Beef Liver, Pork Liver, Chicken Liver, Fioe Gras... doesn't matter.

And Oh baby does this look good (all except the mushrooms - allergic)!

I've really like chicken livers cooked with a little sage, salt & pepper & a lot of onions. I bet that mixture would go really well in some crepes the way you did them.

I'm going have to give that a try very soon.

Great post!

If you use a light wood like Apple it will be yummy but don't over smoke it it will dry and bitter

Title: Re: Chicken liver with a eastern Europe twist
Post by: Hub on March 25, 2012, 09:23:24 AM: That sounds good! And easy, too. My problem is I am limited to fixing liver (of any critter) only when my wife is away. She will not eat it. Too bad. I eat her share, too.

Post by: Pam Gould on March 25, 2012, 10:02:45 AM: african..thanks for the recipe..I will make this it looks sooo good. I'm sure grandma made stuff like this because she was always feeding us. She lived across the street from us. I have recently been finding recipe that smell like grandma's cooking..I really like that. The last thing I found was collard greens. And I just love them, and they smelled just like grandma's house. Pam .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

Post by: Ron D on March 25, 2012, 03:28:05 PM: That does look great africanmeat....what is the % of the fat content of your cream? I would love to make that here but it looks like I would need what we call Heavy Whipping Cream that has about a 40% milk fat content. I also love to grill them with some semi-cooked bacon wrapped around them....so sweet and juicy
