Liver Onion Patties
Liver Onion Patties are savory, crispy bites made from seasoned liver, onion, and crackers, perfect for those who enjoy rich flavors and hearty textures.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Put the liver through a fine grind meat grinder along with the onion and crackers.
- Add the slightly beaten eggs, milk, and salt to the ground mixture.
- Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into hot oil, flatten with a spatula, and fry until brown and crisp on each side.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor of liver onion patties, consider adding spices like black pepper or garlic powder. If you don’t have crackers on hand, crushed bread or breadcrumbs can be a great substitute. Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the patties to ensure they fry properly and become crispy. For a twist, you can also incorporate some finely chopped herbs like parsley.
Serving Suggestions
Serve liver onion patties with a side of mashed potatoes or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. They pair beautifully with a classic gravy, reminiscent of dishes like Hearty Beef Stew(Crock-Pot). For an added touch, a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs can elevate the dish even further.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover liver onion patties can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes on each side until warmed through, or use an oven set to 350°F for about 10-15 minutes to retain crispness.
