Preparation
Step 1
How to make beef liver salad with carrots and onions? Prepare the ingredients. If using frozen liver, thaw it first. If the liver is chilled, rinse it thoroughly under running water. Pour milk over it and leave for 30 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables. Peel the onion and finely chop it. Peel the carrot and grate it on a coarse grater.
Step 3
Pat the liver soaked in milk dry with paper towels. Cut it into thin strips.
Step 4
Put the onion in a skillet and sauté until translucent. Add the grated carrot, stir, and cook until the carrot becomes soft.
Step 5
Add the liver to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. No need to add extra oil: the salad will be dressed with mayonnaise, and extra vegetable oil isn’t needed. The liver has absorbed enough moisture from the milk and won’t burn while frying. Cook the liver with the vegetables over medium heat. Stir the contents of the skillet and cover with a lid. Let the liver braise for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 6
Then remove the lid and, if there is liquid left, let it evaporate. Let the liver and vegetables cool slightly. Dress the salad with mayonnaise and mix. Transfer to a salad bowl - this salad is best served in individual bowls. Garnish with basil sprigs; you can finely chop a few leaves and add them directly to the salad for a wonderful aroma and flavor.
Step 7
Serve the salad with croutons made from wheat bread. It’s best served warm. It will become a healthy, tasty, light dinner for the whole family. Enjoy your meal!
