Dr. LoRang’s liver + onions recipe

Abbie SawyerRecipes

Liver and onions is not a new dish by any means. This nutrient-dense dish has been around for years. But it is definitely not known for being a popular, well-loved food (at least by most people) in today’s food culture.

So, in his quest to make nourishing foods more palatable for everyday cooks and families, Dr. LoRang experimented with variations of this time-tested recipe. He landed on the formula below, which his whole family now enjoys regularly, including his toddler.

The results are truly tasty and are a great introduction to the world of organ meats. (Need more convincing? Here are five reasons why you should give them a try.)

From Dr. LoRang’s kitchen to yours, here’s to your health!

  • Tongs
  • Stirring spoon

  3. While you’re waiting, you can prepare the breading. Combine 1 C coconut flour, tsp salt, ½ T black ground pepper, 1 T Mo’Rub Eenie Meenie Mighty Mo into another shallow, low bowl. Mix with a fork.
  4. Chop bacon into ½-inch slivers. In one of your fry pans, fry the bacon.
  5. Once cooked, remove bacon from pan and pour out half the grease into a glass jar. You will eventually fry the liver in this pan. Set aside for now.

  6. Chop the onions into slivers. In a second fry pan, put the onion slivers with 3 T of the reserved bacon grease. Cook on low, covered, to caramelize.liver and onions @capitalchirodsm
  7. Remove liver from fridge. Bread the liver by transferring slices from coconut cream (shake off extra cream) into breading mixture bowl. Thoroughly coat each piece. Bread all slices. These can be left in the breading bowl.

  8. Reheat the bacon grease in the first fry pan on medium heat and drop in a pinch of flour to check that it’s hot enough (it will sizzle if so).
  9. Drop in liver slices in a single layer into hot pan. Cook until brown, then flip. Add more bacon grease as needed. Transfer pieces from pan to a serving platter using tongs.
