Liver wrapped in foil
Liver in foil - a savory, simple, and quick dish, perfect for a delicious dinner or festive meal. This recipe will help you achieve tender, flavorful liver, ideal to be served alongside a side of vegetables or a fresh salad.
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Total time: 25 minutes
Number of servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 500 g liver (chicken or turkey, according to preference)
- 4-6 cloves of garlic
- 1 small bunch of fresh parsley
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
- Aluminum foil
Preparation:
1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by washing the liver well under cold running water. It is essential to remove any impurities or blood to achieve a clean and tasty dish. After washing, let the liver drain on a paper towel.
2. Cutting the liver: Cut the liver into equal-sized pieces, about 3-4 cm. This will ensure even cooking. You can opt for smaller pieces if you prefer a less 'intense' dish.
3. Seasoning: In a bowl, season the liver with salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste. Mix well so that the spices are evenly distributed.
4. Preparing the foil: Cut pieces of aluminum foil, each about 30 cm in size. On each piece, place 2-3 pieces of liver, a few peeled garlic cloves (whole or halved, according to preference), and a handful of chopped fresh parsley. The parsley will add a fresh note to the dish, while the garlic will enhance the flavor of the liver.
5. Wrapping: Wrap each portion of liver in aluminum foil, making sure it is well sealed to prevent juices from leaking. This step is crucial to maintain moisture and achieve tender liver.
6. Cooking: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Place the foil packets in a tray and put them in the oven. Cook for 15 minutes. If you prefer a crispier liver, you can open the foil in the last 5 minutes to allow it to brown slightly.
7. Serving: After cooking, remove the packets from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before opening. You can serve the liver with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh green salad. Additionally, a mustard or yogurt sauce with herbs can pair very well.
Unique suggestion: You can try adding a few thin slices of lemon in each packet before sealing them. The lemon will add a note of acidity and balance the fat of the liver, providing a refined taste.
This liver in foil recipe is simple and quick, perfect for anyone looking to prepare a savory dish in record time. By experimenting with different spices or adding new ingredients, you can create delicious variations that suit your tastes. Enjoy!
