Equipment
- 1 bowl
- 1 Frying Pan
Ingredients
For Livers
- 660 g pork liver fresh
- 1 teaspoon sea salt kosher
- 1 teaspoon ground pepper freshly ground
- 1 cup milk
- 100 ml sunflower oil
Garlic Sauce
- 5 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon Greek yoghurt full fat
- ½ teaspoon sea salt kosher
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper freshly ground
- ½ teaspoon sweet paprika powder
- 3 tablespoon warm water
Instructions
- Slice the livers into the same thickness pieces at least 1 cm / 0.4 inch thick and remove if certain pieces of the digestive tract or other organs are attached.
- Put the slices of liver in a bowl, pour a cup of milk on them and let them soak for 1-2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Take out the liver slices from the milk and dry them well on a kitchen towel.
- Season the liver only with freshly ground black pepper without adding sea salt.
- In a non-stick pan, heat the sunflower oil at medium temperature and then fry the liver slices only a minute or two on each side until it acquires a copper colour.
- Take them out in a bowl and now season them with sea salt.
- Crush the garlic cloves in a bowl, season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and mix it with a tablespoon of oil, poured little by little like from mayonnaise, until you get a softer paste
- Add the Greek yoghurt, the sweet paprika and mix further. Thin it with 2-3 tablespoons of water.

Notes
I find that soaking the liver in milk significantly improves its flavour and texture. It reduces the pungent taste, minimizes bitterness, and results in a much softer texture.
The liver must be very dry before cooking to prevent oil splatter during frying.
