Chicken liver cutlets

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to choose the right chicken liver? It is better to buy fresh, chilled liver. When frozen, it is difficult to examine, so there is a risk of buying a stale product. A sign of re-freezing is pinkish ice crystals on the surface. A high-quality offal is brown with a burgundy tint. Yellowish, greenish spots, too dark a color are a sign of deterioration. The smell should be sweet, not sour.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse the chicken liver well, remove films and fat, and dry with paper towels. Cut into large pieces or leave as is.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place liver, paprika and salt in a blender bowl.

4. STEP 4

   

   Beat well until smooth. If you don't have a blender, grind through a meat grinder.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour sesame seeds and flour into the resulting mass. You may need more or less flour, as its properties are different. Focus on the desired consistency of the dough. It should be viscous, like pancakes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Mix well until smooth and there are no lumps.

7. STEP 7

   

   Let the dough sit for about 5 minutes to allow the gluten to release from the flour. Thanks to this, the cutlets will better hold their shape.

8. STEP 8

   

   Pour some vegetable oil with a high smoke point into the pan. Reheat well. Place a round cooking ring with a diameter of 8-10 cm on the surface of the frying pan. Pour a little (about 1-2 tablespoons) of liver dough into it. If you don't have a ring, just spoon the batter into a pancake shape. Wait a little for the mass to set and remove the ring.

9. STEP 9

   

   Fry the cutlets over medium heat for another 1 minute. Turn over and cook for another 1 minute. Fry all the other cutlets in this manner. Serve hot with sour cream sauce. To prepare it, mix sour cream and mayonnaise in equal proportions in a small container, add 1-2 cloves of garlic, passed through a press, and chopped dill. Stir and serve in a separate gravy boat or bowl. Bon appetit!

I wanted to make liver pancakes and made chicken liver cutlets :) Great idea to use a pastry ring to form round liver cutlets. The cat cutlets come out very beautiful and appetizing, so smooth and round. And the taste is incomparable, however, I added a little garlic to the dough. It seems to me that the main thing here is not to fill the dough with flour, because it will seem that it is very liquid. Otherwise, the cutlets may be tough. Thanks to the author for the idea!

Great recipe! I haven’t made liver cutlets/pancakes for a long time. I liked that the recipe did not add eggs or additional ingredients. Instead of sesame seeds, I added a handful of ground walnuts, and also ground onions, garlic and herbs in a blender. The author writes that such additives are acceptable and it seems to me that they give a great taste!! I baked them in an electric waffle iron, so the pancakes turned out flat)) some turned out so wide that you can make a liver cake!! These taste like very delicate and soft pancakes. Very tasty with vegetables and country sour cream. Thanks to the author for the recipe.
