7-Liver cake with mushrooms
The excellent taste of fried champignons will make your traditional liver cake an unusual, original dish.
We will need:
- liver (any) - about 800 grams - a glass of milk
- a glass of flour - three raw eggs
- one boiled egg - half a kilogram of fresh champignons
- two onions - a small pack of mayonnaise (about 200 grams)
- salt, pepper, vegetable oil.
- Heat a frying pan with vegetable oil and fry the chopped champignons until the excess moisture has evaporated from them. Add finely chopped onion and fry until tender. You can add salt and pepper.
- Grind the liver, mix with eggs, a small amount of vegetable oil (so that the pancakes fry better and do not burn), mix the mass thoroughly, add salt.
- We bake pancakes, turning them on both sides.
- Grease the layers of liver pancakes with mayonnaise and add mushroom filling.
- You can decorate the top with finely ground yolks, parsley leaves, and bright vegetable flowers.
Advantages of the liver
Many people know that liver is a food item that is not popular among the general population. And in vain! It has a large number of advantages. Keratin, found in the liver, helps the body remove harmful substances by activating metabolic processes. The benefits of folic acid, which is difficult to find in other foods, are endless. It is not for nothing that it is prescribed without fail to all pregnant women in the form of medications.
Antioxidants are a separate topic. Today, all conscious people are looking for an antidote to the harmful effects of the environment, and the liver contains more of the substances necessary for this. This product also contains a record amount of iron, which is extremely necessary for the functioning of the human body, and many vitamins and minerals.
By the way, liver cake is not that high in calories. Liver is a dietary and low-calorie product, 100 g of which contains only 100 kcal. This is why nutritionists even create effective liver diets.
8-Liver cake with cream
This cake turns out incredibly tender, and its “layers” literally melt in your mouth!
We will need:
- half a kilogram of liver
- two onions - Hercules oat flakes - 5 spoons
- three raw eggs - a glass of cream
- garlic, milk, salt, pepper, lemon juice.
- We take fresh liver and scald it with boiling water (I described above how best to do this). Then grind it in a blender and mix it with finely chopped onion.
- Soak oatmeal in milk, combine with liver and onion. Add eggs and mix thoroughly again.
- Fry the pancakes.
- For the sauce, whip the cream, gently mix with chopped garlic, add lemon juice and pepper.
- We assemble the cake, brushing each “cake” with sauce, then put it in the refrigerator to soak, but not for long - this cake is so tender that half an hour will be enough for it.
- Spread sauce on top and sprinkle with herbs.
Liver cakes: useful tips and little culinary tricks
- If you have already tried to make a liver cake, then you probably know that sometimes, once it’s ready and decorated on top, it can be difficult to cut into traditional “cake” segments—the layers tend to slip out from under the knife. There is a wonderful way out - cut it into portioned triangles while still “undecorated”, and then decorate the finished portions on top.
- Small liver cakes decorated like cakes look great on any table, even the most formal ones. They are baked and “assembled” in the same way as large ones, only you should not get a pancake, but rather a pancake. For its filling, three layers will be enough; it can be either traditional or unusual.
- Among the non-traditional and very tasty fillings are grated cheese, egg pancakes (baked according to regular omelet recipes), chopped vegetables, and lettuce.
- The liver cake will be much more tender if the liver is ground to a very finely ground puree (make sure that there are no pieces left), and the pancakes are baked in a sufficient amount of vegetable oil (if there is not enough oil, the “cakes” will turn out to be dry).
- It is better to grate the carrots for frying on a fine grater, so they will blend more harmoniously with the delicate texture of the liver pancakes. If desired, carrots fried with onions can be ground in a blender until pureed, then when cut, your dish will look exactly like a real cake!
- Liver cake (its hot version) looks very beautiful if you sprinkle it with grated cheese and put it in the oven for a few minutes. As soon as the cheese has melted and acquired a golden brown crust, the cake can be removed.
In my opinion, liver cake is familiar to the entire post-Soviet space. I just came up with a different form of presentation. This is how pastry chefs make cakes, why not get creative with appetizers?
We need to cut the pancakes in such a way that we get rectangles with which we will work.
Take the first rectangle, coat it with garlic mayonnaise using a silicone paint brush and roll it into a roll. We do the same with the remaining rectangles, sequentially winding them on top of each other.
We put the “work” in a springform cake pan, fill it with gelled mayonnaise and spices and put it in the refrigerator until it hardens completely.
Don't ask me how to prepare gelled mayonnaise: I did it by eye. There are exact recipes on the internet. But, and this is very important, do not pour the mayonnaise onto the cake right away, but let it “set” a little in the refrigerator, otherwise it will escape through all the cracks.source
I suggest you try making liver cakes using my recipe. As a result, we will have a delicious appetizer that guests are not ashamed to serve, and it’s a pleasure to eat ourselves. Minimum time for cooking, and maximum result on the “delicious” scale :)
