Liver y-chopped

I have finished adding the recipes from my last feast and so I will move into my archives and start on past endeavors. As people are aware I like to add come of the dishes that others avoid because of the ingredients so this is a liver dish. "Oh no, why serve liver at a feast?" is probably going through your heads. Well, some of us like liver and it is a fast cooking meat that if done right is tasty and versatile. The following recipe does not include measurements because, well, it is liver and scrambled eggs and that, my friends, is pretty darn basic.


Liver y-chopped- liver, oil, eggs, ginger, pepper, saffron and salt

61. For the chopped liver: he who has the charge of the chopped liver should take kids' livers--and if there are not enough of those of kids use those of veal--and clean and wash them very well, then put them to cook well and properly; and, being cooked, let him take them out onto fair and clean boards and, being drained, chop them very fine and, being well chopped, let him arrange that he has fair lard well and properly melted in fair and clean frying pans, then put the said chopped liver in to fry and sauté it well and properly. And then arrange that he has a great deal of eggs and break them into fair dishes and beat them all together; and put in spices, that is white ginger, grains of paradise, saffron, and salt in good proportion, then put all of this gently into the said frying pans with the said liver which is being fried while continually stirring and mixing with a good spoon in the pans until it is well cooked and dried out and beginning to brown. And then when this comes to the sideboard arrange the aforesaid heads on fair serving dishes, and on each dish next to the heads put and arrange the aforesaid chopped liver.


Simmer the cleaned liver until cooked through and let it drain and cool. Chop it into small cubes and then fry it in a pan with hot oil. When the liver is browned, add beaten eggs mixed with ground ginger, ground grains of paradise, saffron and salt. Cook stirring until the scrambled eggs start to brown serve warm.
