Made liver and HATE it...what did I do wrong? page

[OperaDivaMom]

I just made chicken liver for the first time, and absolutely hate it. It tastes so metallic, like I put a bunch of pennies in my mouth. I managed to swallow down a few bites, but I just can't eat this very often! I sauteed it in coconut oil over medium heat, with salt and pepper. Was this just a bad way to cook it? Is it supposed to taste like metal?

I've just returned to liver, having hated it as a child. I'm not sure if this actually does anything, but I 'marinate' calves liver in cream for a day or two and the resulting cooked liver is much less metallic than I remember. I also saute it in grass fed butter. I'm actually starting to like it.

Liver can get a metallic taste if it's overcooked. Try cooking it for less time, maybe?

Chicken liver pate is delicious:

So is calves liver, just make sure not to overcook it.

Liver is really delicious cooked in bacon fat. I usually coat the liver with coconut flour mixed with garlic powder, sea salt and pepper and fry it in bacon fat. Served with sauteed onions is delicious

I "hide" beef liver in meatballs and chili. I'm working up to pate. It's a paradigm shift for sure!

I hide my liver too. Cook liver until I can cut it up easily. Fry some diced bacon, add onions, celery, mushrooms and cook until soft. Then I add the liver to that. At one time, it would all be placed over some rice.

I haven't gotten up my courage for liver yet (Working on it) but I have read that soaking it in milk can help draw out some of that metallic flavor

No matter what I try, I have to hide it in my other meats. My favorite is in Spaghetti Sauce cooked in with the Ground Beef. I have not had liver for quite some time though. It's a hard one for me, along with other offal...<shivers>

I tried buffalo liver awhile ago and hated it, it doesn't sound like you did anything wrong to me, I'm not exactly a liver expert.... I have some calves liver in the freezer I'm waiting to try it in some meatballs, hopefully it will be tasty. Good luck if you decide to try it again.
