Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prevent the liver from becoming tough?+
Do not overcook it; sear it quickly and only add it back to the pan at the very end.
Can I use beef liver instead?+
Yes, but beef liver is tougher and needs thinner slicing and longer cooking than chicken liver.
What is the secret to the best flavor?+
Caramelizing the onions slowly until they turn deep gold is key to the sweetness that balances the liver.

Yes, it is the classic Polish herb that cuts through the richness of organ meats.
