Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Total: 35 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients:
- 500 g chicken or beef liver
- 200 ml milk
- 3-4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1-2 tablespoons mustard (preferably Dijon mustard for a more refined taste)
- Olive oil (or butter) for frying
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar or lemon juice to enhance the flavors

Instructions:

1. Wash and prepare the liver: Start by washing the liver under cold running water, making sure to remove any impurities. After washing, drain them well. This step is crucial for achieving a fine dish without an unpleasant texture.

2. Marinating the liver: Cut the liver into strips about 2-3 cm wide. Place them in a bowl and pour the milk over them, ensuring they are completely covered. This step helps to remove the strong taste of liver and makes them more tender. Let them marinate for 15 minutes.

3. Cooking the liver: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil or butter. Remove the liver from the milk and drain them well. Add them to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd, so they fry evenly. Fry them for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden and cooked but still juicy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Preparing the sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise with mustard. You can add, if desired, a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar or lemon juice for extra acidity. Mix well until you obtain a homogeneous sauce. This sauce is key to giving the liver a delicious flavor, so don't skip this step!

5. Serving: Once the liver is ready, place it on a platter and pour the mayonnaise and mustard sauce on top. You can garnish with fresh parsley or basil leaves for a more vibrant appearance.

Serving suggestion: These liver with mayonnaise and mustard sauce pair perfectly with arugula salad with cherry tomatoes or crispy fried potatoes. You can also add a slice of lemon for a fresh contrast!

Possible variations: If you want to add a touch of originality, you can add some sautéed onion slices or fried mushrooms to the liver before serving. You can also replace mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
