[Low Carb Recipes] Scrumptious Liver Recipe
Jun 24th 2009 · by Catherine Osthaus
In an attempt to get my children to eat (and like) liver I have been experimenting different ways to make it. I think I have come close. Although this recipe was not a hit with the kids at dinner time last night, it has great potential. I enjoyed and loved it very much and would not mind eating liver like this weekly. My children do not enjoy the texture of fried onions so I gave it to them without them.The onions contribute a lot of the flavour. Next time I will add the fried onions into the food processor while making the liver mix.
I tried to make liver meatballs but had to much liquid and they went flat, turning into patties. This is a Low Carb Recipe using almonds instead of white flour or bread crumbs.
Yummy Liver Patties
1 lb of organic liver (I used pork)
1 organic pastured egg
1 cup of almonds (preferably soaked overnight and oven dried)
1/2 cup of milk
2 cloves of garlic
3/4 tsp cumin
1 large onion
Salt and Pepper to taste
Butter for frying
Chop onion and fry in butter until golden brown. Place liver, egg, almonds, milk, garlic, cumin in a food processor and blend mixture until smooth. Spoon out liver mixture into the frying pan and cook for a few minutes until golden brown. Flip the patties and cook for a few minutes. Top the patties with onions, salt and pepper.
My question to you:
What else could you add to make these kid friendly? I was also thinking about adding a can of tomato paste.

That does sound good. I am working toward getting my girls to enjoy liver too. Tomato paste sounds like a good idea. Would you do it as a sauce?
The tomato paste would be added to the liver mix in the food processor. I had a vegan nut loaf similar in texture to the liver patties and it contained tomato paste. It was really good.
I made chicken liver pate recently and what I disliked was the livery flavor
This sounds pretty good, actually, and quite worth a try!
What about making a gravy or sauce to go over top? A chicken stock gravy with lots of sage and garlic (or cumin and onion, to mimic the flavor in the patties) or maybe a cream sauce?
The gravy sounds like a great idea!
This sounds promising!!! I wonder how a little bit of bacon, chopped up and and rolled into the patties would taste? For my kids, bacon makes everything better! Or perhaps some homemade ranch dressing for a dip….I can eat ANYTHING with a good, healthy, ranch!
I love your blog, by the way! Just came across it and I think we share many of the same ideals! I’m a paleo/grain-free blogger as well! I will be checking often to glean some of your wisdom!!

Carrie – thank you for your nice comments. I appreciate feedback. I like liver with bacon but unfortunately my one daughter does not like it. Bacon would go great as an optional topping though!
