Ingredients

• 1 lb (450 g) pork liver, cleaned and thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of dried herbs (such as thyme or rosemary)

Instructions

1. Begin by thoroughly cleaning the pork liver under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
3. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onions become translucent and soft, about 5 minutes.
4. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sliced pork liver to the skillet. Cook the liver slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are no longer pink inside and have reached an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
5. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the liver slices to ensure they are cooked thoroughly.
6. Season with salt, pepper, and optional dried herbs. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
7. Remove the skillet from heat and allow the liver to rest for 3 minutes before serving. This resting time helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring it is tender and flavorful.
8. Serve the sautéed pork liver warm. It pairs well with sides such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad.

Tip

This recipe ensures that the pork liver is cooked safely to the recommended internal temperature, making it a delicious and safe dish to enjoy.
