Classic Stroganov liver

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a classic Stroganov style liver? Prepare all the necessary products. Take fresh liver, bright pink, without visible damage. It can be pork, beef or any bird liver. I use chicken liver. You can take sour cream of any fat content or replace it with heavy cream and even mayonnaise (which is less desirable). Instead of tomato paste, if it is not available, you can use ketchup.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the onion and rinse. To make the onion easy to peel, soak it in cold water for half an hour before cooking - you can easily peel it. Cut the onion into cubes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a frying pan. Since we will be frying in oil, it must be refined so as not to burn in the pan. According to the oil product, it can be anything: from sunflower to olive. Add chopped onion, fry for about 5-7 minutes until the onion is golden brown.

4. STEP 4

   

   Reduce heat and add flour to the pan.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add tomato paste.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add sour cream and mix everything vigorously so that there are no lumps. The sauce will thicken quickly, so it makes sense to add a little water and bring it to the consistency of thick sour cream.

7. STEP 7

   

   Salt the sauce to taste. You can pepper it or add some other seasonings. But according to the classic recipe, there are no seasonings in the dish.

8. STEP 8

   

   Stir the sauce and remove from heat.

9. STEP 9

   

   Rinse the liver very well in running water, remove films and bile ducts, if any. To reduce bitterness, you can soak the liver in milk for 1-2 hours before cooking. Cut the liver into small pieces.

10. STEP 10

    

    In another frying pan, heat the remaining oil, add the liver and fry over medium heat, turning the pieces, until the liver is cooked. The usual cooking time for the liver is about 10-15 minutes, but be careful not to dry it out.

11. STEP 11

    

    Add the previously prepared sauce to the finished liver.

12. STEP 12

    

    Mix the liver with the sauce and serve. The pieces are tender and juicy, in a spicy sauce. Our chicken liver Stroganov style with sour cream is ready. This dish can be served without a side dish.

13. STEP 13

    

    Bon appetit!

I've heard a lot about this dish, but I've never cooked it. I saw a photo of your Stroganov liver and my mouth started watering. I immediately prepared chicken liver according to your recipe. The dish “classic Stroganoff-style liver” is quite simple to prepare and very quick. Strictly following all the instructions, I made a gorgeous dish from simple and affordable ingredients. First I made a sauce from onions, flour, tomato paste, sour cream, salt and pepper. Then I fried the chicken liver and poured the sauce over it. All! Nothing complicated and no hassles at all! At the same time, I boiled buckwheat as a side dish. The chicken liver turned out incredibly soft, tender and juicy in a fragrant tomato and sour cream sauce. Onions and liver are great friends, and the sauce of tomato paste and sour cream complements them perfectly. Stroganov liver simply melts in your mouth. Now I will cook this liver often. Thanks for the good recipe!
