Kittencals Best Chopped Beef Liver Food

KITTENCAL'S BEST CHOPPED BEEF LIVER!

Steps:

• Broil the liver on both sides until just cooked (do not overcook the liver!) cool completely, then cut into about 1-1/2 inch pieces; set aside.
• Sauté the onions in 4 tablespoon oil until caramelized (this should take about 15-20 minutes; cool slightly.
• Process the cooked chicken then measure out 1/4 cup.
• Process the liver and onions in a food processor until minced; add in all remaining ingredients along with the 1/4 cup minced chicken; process until blended about 10 seconds, scraping down the sides of the bowl if necessary.
• Season with salt and lots black pepper.
• Transfer to a bowl, cover and chill for a minimum of 3 hours or overnight before using.
• The mixture will firm up when chilled (make certain to keep a spoon handy near the fridge, you won't be able to stop tasting this LOL!).

KITTENCAL'S BEEF LIVER AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Place the rinsed liver in a large bowl and cover with milk toss gently with hands to coat all the pieces evenly in the milk; place in refrigerater for 2 hours.
• Meanwhile heat 3-4 tablespoons butter or oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add in onions with sugar; saute until soft and lightly browned (about 10-12 minutes) remove to a plate or bowl.
• In a shallow dish (I use an 8x8-inch baking dish for this) season the flour with seasoned salt, garlic powder and ground black pepper.
• Drain the liver over a strainer (make sure to drain well).
• Coat each piece of liver in the flour mixture then place on a plate.
• Heat 2-3 tablespoons oil in skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add in the liver slices a few at a time; cook until browned on both sides (DO NOT OVERCOOK THE LIVER, leave just slightly pink in the middle!) remove to a large plate or platter; cover loosley with foil to keep liver warm or place in a 200 degree F oven to keep warm.
• Add the onions back to the skillet to heat through and combine with the browned bits in the pan.
• Serve the onions with the liver.
• Delicious!

CHOPPED LIVER

Steps:

• Drain the livers and saute them in 2 batches in 2 tablespoons of the chicken fat over medium-high heat, turning once, for about 5 minutes, or until just barely pink inside. Don't overcook the livers or they will be dry. Transfer them to a large bowl.
• In the same pan, saute the onions in 3 tablespoons of the chicken fat over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, or until browned. Add the Madeira and deglaze the pan, scraping the sides, for about 15 seconds. Pour into the bowl with the livers.
• Add the eggs, parsley, thyme, salt, black pepper, cayenne, and the remaining chicken fat to the bowl. Toss quickly to combine. Transfer half the mixture to the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Pulse 6 to 8 times, until coarsely chopped. Repeat with the remaining mixture. Season, to taste, and chill. Serve on crackers or matzo.

YUMMY BEEF LIVER (!)

• Saute onions until just a bit brown.
• Add liver and saute until brown.
• Add V-8 juice to 1 inch above the meat and onions.
• Heat to simmer.
• Simmer on low, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until the juice has thickened into a nice gravy.
• Serve with rice, green veggies.

CHOPPED LIVER

Steps:

• Hard-boil the eggs for 10 minutes, drain, and set aside to cool. In a large frying pan, gently cook the onions in the oil (or schmaltz) until soft and golden. Increase the heat, add the livers, and stir for a few seconds so that they absorb the flavor of the onion. Either pour the mixture into a food processor and process to a coarse or smooth paste with the gribenes (if using), or pass the mixture through an old-fashioned grinder. Scoop into a bowl. Grate the eggs on the coarse side of a grater and add to the bowl, reserving a little of the grated egg for the garnish. Stir in the parsley and fold in gently. Moisten the mixture with some wine, brandy, or chicken stock, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until needed. Serve in scoops on individual plates topped with a little grated egg and paprika for color, and generous pieces of fresh Friday-night challah.
• To make gribenes and schmaltz
• Remove the spare fat from a raw chicken and place in a pan. (There is usually a lump of fat around the neck, in an older bird at least.) Add 1 cup (8 oz) dairy-free margarine, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 large onion (with the skin left on to enhance the golden color). Remove the skin from the chicken, cut into smallish pieces, and add to the pan. Set over very low heat and cook for 1 1/2-2 hours until all of the fat has been rendered gently out of the chicken skin. Remove the skin from the pan and drain on paper towels to form gribenes or crackling. Pour the fat (schmaltz) into a heavy-duty glass dish and store in the fridge until needed*. As the fat cools, a rich jelly will collect at the bottom of the dish. This jelly forms a delicious base for soup or sauces.
• The fat (schmaltz) will keep for up to 6 weeks in the fridge. Store the gribenes in the fridge.

KITTENCAL'S PERFECT PRIME RIB ROAST BEEF

Steps:

• Using a knife, poke small holes all over uncooked roast, and insert a half of a clove of fresh garlic in the hole (as many holes and as much garlic as desired).
• Cover roast, and refrigerate overnight.
• The next day, remove the roast from fridge and uncover; let sit out at room temperature for about 2 to 2-1/2 hours (this is an important step to relax the meat fibers, it will make for a more tender juicy roast, the length of counter-time will depend on the size of your roast).
• Set oven to 450°F and allow the oven to preheat for a minimum of 15 minutes.
• Season the roast with only a small amount of salt but lots of fresh ground black pepper pepper (that's all nothing else but a little salt and fresh ground black pepper, using any other spices will take away the flavor from the prime rib!).
• Place the roast fat-side up on a rack in a shallow-sided pan, then insert a meat thermometer in the middle of the roast but not touching any rib bones.
• Roast uncovered at 450°F for 20 minutes (a few more minutes won't hurt at 450°F).
• After 20 minutes of high heat cooking reduce heat to 350°F and continue to roast for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes OR until the meat thermometer reads 130°F for rare doneness OR 140°F for medium-rare doneness, that is the way a prime rib really should be served, check your roast after 1 hour cooking time.
• *NOTE* It is strongly advised to remove the roast slightly before desired degree of doneness is achieved as the roast will continue to rise in temperature several degrees after removing from the oven.
• Remove meat to a carving board.
• Cover loosely with foil and allow let rest (DO NOT CUT INTO ROAST for at least 20 or more minutes or all juices in the meat will flow out).
• While the roast is resting prepare the au jus; place the roasting pan on top of the stove over high heat.
• Add in the wine; cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring and scraping any brown bits.
• Add in the beef stock; cook and reduce the juice by half (this might take about 20 minutes).
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Slice roast (just before serving!) and drizzle with some of the juice.
• *NOTE* if desired you can cover the roast loosely with foil the first hour and then uncover and cook for the remaining time.
• --------------------------------------------.
• APPROXIMATE COOKING TIMES for the prime rib cooked at 350°F after the 20 minute cooking time at 450°F.
• Rare; cook 12-13 minutes per pound or to 130°F.
• Medium-rare; cook 14-16 minutes per pound or to 140°F (I would not recommend cooking a prime rib any more than medium-rare).
• Since every oven cooks differently cooking times are only approximate.
• SUGGESTED SERVING PORTIONS PER PERSON ----for a generous serving of prime rib roast you should figure on 2 people per rib, that means if you plan to serve 6 people you should be able to do so with 3 ribs/ eight people with 4 ribs/ do not bother with less than 3 ribs anything less than that is not a roast but rather a steak and would be better treated as such.
