My mom grew up during the depression and liver, kidney, beef heart was the only meat they could afford. Fortunately, she continued to serve this food to us long after the depression was over! It must be good because she is 99.4 now and has never had a doctor!

She might very well be 97, BECAUSE she never had a doctor, who would have stupidly told her to stop eating liver, kidney and heart.

Best liver is from grass fed animal! Little tip: when you put liver in the pan, fry it just a little bit on each side and don't put a salt on it. After is done, I put salt and pepper on it and diced onions with salt and pepper. On top of it I put another batch of liver and so on. If you don't salt liver while preparing it, it will hold juices and taste much better.

[@Sonder0077]

This is exactly how I cook my beef liver. Sometimes I don't salt it at all and it's still delicious.

[@MrKozanitis]

In Greece liver, especially beef liver, is widely eaten either fried in extra virgin olive oil liberally sprinkled with oregano, or grilled, again sprinkled with oregano and/or accompanied with sautéed onions. In either case it is delicious and we eat it from a very early age, thus we are not adverse to its taste and/or texture; on the contrary we love it! I am glad to hear you say that it is a superfood! One of my (many) culinary surprises when I migrated to the States in the late 60s had to do with my discovery, to my dismay, that liver was not...loved (to put it mildly!) but, dare I say...reviled? I love it!

*HELPFUL HINT:* For those of you who can stomach chicken liver but find the taste of beef liver overwhelming. I roast a hen (chicken) in a large covered roasting pan and I put a pound of beef liver in the bottom of the pan and allow it to cook in the chicken fat and drippings. The leftovers will allow the two of us (grummpa and I), to enjoy three meals of roasted chicken and beef liver. (We eat the chicken innards too including the heart and gizzard.) There are many ways to cook liver and this may not be for everyone but beef liver roasted in a pan with organic free range chicken fat is our favorite. And it tastes like chicken liver too. Don't knock it until you try it.

We always ate liver growing up. Liver, heart, gizzards and the occasional pork brain. My Mom always called the chicken (or turkey) liver the "cook's piece" and she and I would "fight" over it. LOL!

Edited to add: A friend of mine makes some of the BEST Liver and onions. She has the butcher cut the liver 1/2 to 1 inch thick. Cook in bacon grease with a bit of pink in center yet and she cooks the onions separate.

[@ienjoyapples]

@@aribernays If you just put a slice of liver in the blender it won't be liquidy enough to mix with the ground beef, so I add an egg and some bone broth. I use the eggshell because it's a great source of calcium and other nutrients, and the blender chops the shell into tiny bits which add just a little crunch to the beef, but you don't have to do this.

I just bought beef liver. Cut a few thin slices, fried in bacon fat for 10 minutes, put some salt and ate it. Tastes great, even without soaking in milk or frying with onlions.

[@jeanettevoet5243]

I LOVE beef liver and onions IF cooked the way I like it. Slice onions, a LOT of onions, more than you think you need, and sauté in large skillet low and slow in butter or bacon grease or beef tallow, ghee or olive oil whatever works for you. Just make sure to do it low and slow until well caramelized. Bring a pot of water to a boil put the liver in boiling water to par boil for 1-3 minutes depending on how thick it is, this take out a lot of the super strong taste. Take out and cut into bite sized pieces. Brown liver on all sides then add to skillet with onions. Cook on medium low 10-20 minutes depending on size of pieces of liver and your personal preference of doneness. This can be for dinner or breakfast. Breakfast either top with fried eggs or you can make a little well in the skillet with the liver and onions and poach your eggs right in there. Just had it for breakfast yesterday and doing the leftovers for breakfast today.

Calves liver is much milder in flavor and more tender in my opinion, but you can soak your liver in heavy cream for a few hours in the refrigerator.

@@TXDHC - Hi and thanks for your reply. I'm doing 1-2 oz. of raw frozen liver. I drink them down with water like vitamin pills. My husband cuts it up small for me so I dont choke. I would like to increase it to 3oz. Carnivore yogi did a utube vid on how she did 3oz. of raw frozen liver daily which helped balance her hormones and got her period back. I've been doing this almost 3 months and my energy skyrocketed. Also I'm noticing the ridges on my fingernails have smoothed out. I'm so desperate to see improvement in my walking. I will be patient & push through.

@@eeg122 🤗 Are you eating carnivore or keto? I was vegan 2 yrs prior and overloaded on oxalates. Eating veg right now doesn't agree with me at all, allergicto nuts so they are out, mild allergy to dairy but can tolerate some cream and butter. Dr Terry Wahls protocol uses fruits and veg. I think we're all different and need to adjust for each. I wish you wellness!!!

[@JuliaShevua]

It's good that our traditional Ukrainian food always had fried liver...We more often used it as a filler for pies and pancakes, but also as a separate dish. By the way, if you use pork liver, you can leave it in milk for about 30 minutes (or more) and it will make it less dry and stiff. Also, don't salt the liver straight away, only in the end of cooking.

Tip for liver haters who wish they didn't: Try ordering it in a restaurant. They usually know how to do it well, and you might acquire a taste for it. Dr. Berry is right. Try it again.

@@JBittermusic, spices do wonders. Try mixing liver with yoghurt, lots of cumin, red pepper powder, and black pepper powder. Let them sit at room temperature for an hour before cooking with olive oil. (also some ginger would be nice) You may also stir fry some chopped onion first before adding the liver.

I eat about 250 grammes of lamb’s liver twice a week. I fry it it in either coconut oil or butter, with onions, mushrooms, turmeric powder, garlic powder, and mixed herbs. It is delicious, very filling, and also the second cheapest meat in the supermarket. It costs NZD $4.79 a kilogram (USD $3,21/kilogram). Only chicken drumsticks are cheaper.

[@markmaxwell4890]

So you totally eat 500 gram of lamb liver per week right ? Is that too much you think?

[@luke.morris.redfern-hardis9338]

Since making this statement months ago I have reduced the amount of lamb liver down to about once a month. It does have a strong taste, so it does get boring after awhile. Food is the spice of life, so try new things. There is good health benefits from at least having a little of it.

Egg binds, and so do coconut and almond flour, and all are keto. In addition eggs are also carnivore accepted if you're doing the carnivore way of eating, when you only eat animal products.

[@jenny1671]

Marisa Wiggins yes I use egg and flour or white croutons. So I don’t ink coconut , or Almond flour will work for substitute. I wish I could find a non gmo version of flour that was use before it was altered.

[@andreafalconiero9089]

Squash contains no vitamin A (retinol) whatsoever, since that vitamin is only found in animal foods. Liver is the richest source of Vitamin A. Squash may have _beta carotene_ and other carotenoids which are plant pigments that can serve as *precursors* for the synthesis of vitamin A in the human body. Unfortunately, this is a very unreliable way of getting sufficient amounts of the vitamin since there are very wide variations in peoples' ability to make true vitamin A from carotenoids -- apparently some people cannot do the conversion at all! It's much better to eat liver than squash if you want to increase your Vitamin A levels, and as long as you're eating liver, it won't matter whether or not you eat the squash. That said, if you like squash, go ahead and eat it -- just not for vitamin A.

I poach vidalia onion slices in their own extracted juices- no butter or oil needed- for two hours on very low heat in an Instantpot, then reserve the liquid for adding to stock or soup later and then carmelize the drained onions and add 3Tbs aged balsamic vinegar (preferable 10 years or older) and 1tsp brown sugar- if using a younger vinegar, may need up to 1 Tbs of sugar. Placing the 1/4-1/2" sliced liver in the same pan, I sear on medium high heat basting with butter and fresh Rosemary or Thyme for two or three minutes each side. Cost? $2.50 per plate. Two minutes additional each side and you've got the infamous seasoned, buttery shoe leather. It's not complicated- just very quick!

[@rocco225]

Well Dr. Ken, I tried liver for my first time since childhood, and I must say it was way more disgusting than I remember. I cooked it in salt and ghee. I forced it all down despite my gag reflex. I tried it again today (2 weeks later) and used bacon fat instead of butter along with half of a yellow onion. This was much more tolerable, but certainly not good. I very rarely eat veg, but I have to make an exception on liver day because onions are the only thing that makes this palatable to me. Most of your advice ends up coming to fruition in this house so God I hope that my palate evolves over time. Meanwhile, liver is the most difficult thing for me to eat. 😂 You have helped me tremendously. 6 weeks into carnivore, and down one waist size and 13 lbs. Thanks for all the FREE content. It does not go unappreciated!

Kerrygold butter 2T with a little oil for the onions and garlic really works wonderful for me. Kerrygold is expensive but Costco has it for a decent price and is well worth it. I would recommend Costco just for Kerrygold butter. It is the only butter we use in our home. For liver it is a must.

Cod liver-the actual liver, not the oil- tastes awesome! Until recently I didn't even know you could buy the livers of cod. When I learned you could, I felt a bit nervous about trying it. In fact, the tins sat in my pantry for two months while I gathered my courage. Then I found out that it's considered a delicacy in Scandinavia and that other places in Europe regard it as the poor man's foie gras. So I opened up a tin, and wow was I pleasantly surprised. The texture and taste are both beautifully delicate. Now I have to limit myself to one tin every other day, because I don't want to burn through my supplies too quickly. Also...I am a little worried that eating two tins a day really might deliver too much vitamin A. I know Dr. Berry said that eating any liver you buy in a store 5 times a week was safe, but he didn't say that eating it 14 times a week was safe, and I fear that if I let myself go, I *might* eat that much! :D

@No name I buy mine from Amazon, because the local supply where live is very erratic. I keep an eye on the Amazon price, because it fluctuates a lot. I don't want to pay $42 for a dozen! When it comes down to $36 for a dozen tins, I buy it immediately.

Liver goes well with bacon and a little fried onion, also great with a traditional English breakfast - egg, sausage, bacon. Frying liver for just a few minutes keeps it tender, cooked too long it gets a bit chewy, but it's a real fast meal to make - no more than 10 minutes from turning on the cooker.

Cassandra, try to purchase liver from a butcher/farmer that sells organic beef. It is so delicious and you'll know that only the best has been fed to these non-feed lot animals. I thinly slice the liver, coat it in a bit of flour (hold the comments on keto everyone), slap it into a sizzling hot pan and flip over after a couple mins... have thinly - sliced onions ready to throw in once you've flipped .... a few more mins and you're finished .... We were so poor as children, but a feast of this, served with mashed spuds (hold the keto comments ;);) ), we felt like royalty.....

Is it OK to have a liver meal once a week or are we much better spreading it through the week? It depends on how long our bodies can hold onto the nutrition.

I bought calf live at Fry's (Kroger) and was pleased to see it was already sliced thin and vac packed so I just put them in the hot water as is. Today I reheated the liver in some onions I SV'd, butter, and Marsala wine. MELTED IN MY MOUTH! If you try this let me know what you think.

SMOTHERED KETO BEEF LIVER WITH BACON AND GRAVY. SUPER DELISH I like liver and onions. I saw recipes for smothered liver and onions online and wanted to try it but they were not keto or carnivore . I did some experimenting to get the smothered part and stay ultra-low carb and smooth, not gritty sauce . My first step was to sauté 1/3 pound of bacon that I cut into 1x 1 ‘’. In the same pan, Before making the roux, I sauteed ¼ of a sliced yellow onion in the bacon grease and set them aside, to be added in the final cooking of the liver. The key to it not being gritty, as almond flour can be, was to cook the roux made with almond flour with lots of bacon grease very slowly and for quite a while, and adding a teaspoon of wheat flour, stirring constantly. I cut the liver into 2 x 2’’ pieces before cooking. In the same pan I cooked the liver, onions and 1/3 pound of cooked bacon till liver was tender.. I used Skylark brand frozen liver, but any liver will do. Any bacon will do. I used tap water to deglaze the pan and added that to the final dish. APPROXIMATE NET CARBS: 2 TABLESPOONS ALMOND FLOUR 3 ¼ SLICED YELLOW ONION 3 1 TEASPOON WHEAT FLOUR. 3 2 LARGE LIVER STEAKS 0 1/3 LBS THICK SLICED BACON. 0 SALT AND PEPPER 0 YIELD. 2 GENEROUS SERVINGS CARBS PER GENEROUS SERVING AROUND 5 NET
