Well, that was weird
Not the worst, just kind of weird.
I made a Garlic Ginger Lemon Liver Burger (of course!).
It was composed of
- a buttered bun spread with cream cheese
- carmelized onions
- lots of garlic
- too much ginger
- a bunch of beef liver slices, doused in soy sauce, and, last but not least
- sliced lemons (???)
I really wanted to get a lot of liver in me without tasting it too much (though beef liver turned out to be not all that bad, or different than chicken liver; perhaps a little more metallic but less pungent). So I threw everything I had at this thing.
It was weird but tolerable. Not ready for primetime, that's for sure. Everything was cooked fine except the potatoes I also made. It's mostly just the combination that was strange and out of balance.
I tried cooking a whole potato worth of fake French fries in the pan at the same time a huge sliced onion and there just wasn't space. They were too hard.
I got the idea watching a video about Alexandrian (Egypt) liver sandwiches. They make it look delicious but they also used a marinade and a tahini sauce made from all kind of things I don't have. Maybe I can work up to that. I would love to love liver sandwiches.
This was my most desperate and experimental attempt yet, and I did learn something from it.
