Chicken Liver Cake - Refreshing
Liver cake is a great snack, hearty and very beautiful. You can cook it from any liver, but, as it seems to us, it will be tastier from chicken, as in this recipe with step-by-step photos.
The principle of its preparation is simple - pancakes are baked from a liver grinded with a blender, which are then smeared with a mixture of sour cream and mayonnaise. Filling is also placed between the pancakes: sautéed onions and carrots, as well as fresh cucumber. All together looks very appetizing! And, of course, it turns out delicious.
Ingredients:
- chicken liver - 300 g;
- carrots - 1 pc;
- onions - 1 pc;
- fresh cucumber - 1 pc., small (100-150 g);
- sour cream - 70 g +1 tablespoon;
- mayonnaise - 50 g; wheat flour - 1 tablespoon (with a small pea);
- chicken eggs - 1 pc;
- salt, black pepper to taste;
- bay leaf - 1 pc; small;
- vegetable oil - 2-3 tablespoons.
How to make a liver cake
Peel the onions and carrots, rinse. Cut the onion into thin half- or quarter-rings. Rub carrots on a coarse grater. Well, heat the pan with vegetable oil and spread onions and carrots. Fry over low heat under a lid until soft, for about 10 minutes. During this time, mix vegetables 2-3 times. To the finished vegetables we put a bay leaf and cover the pan with a lid. Soak for 15 minutes.
We wash the liver, clear of films. Grind the liver with a blender, turning it into a homogeneous mass.
We shift the liver into the mixer bowl. We put there the egg, flour and a tablespoon of sour cream. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
Mix into a homogeneous mass. It turns out to be quite liquid - as for ordinary pancakes.
And bake pancakes as well as regular pancakes - on both sides in a pan, with a small amount of vegetable oil. I draw your attention to the fact that it’s really better not to add a lot of oil, pancakes are fried well and with a small amount.
Ready pancakes are stacked on a plate. From the specified number of ingredients, 12-13 thin pancakes with a diameter of 15 cm are obtained. If you want to bake thicker pancakes, they will turn out less (in this case, it will take longer to fry each pancake). Cover the plate with pancakes with a lid and set aside to cool to room temperature. If you don’t cover the pancakes with a lid, they, of course, will cool faster, but they will wind up, the thin ends will begin to curl.
When the pancakes have cooled, we begin to form a cake. In a small bowl, mix sour cream and mayonnaise.
We wash and dry the cucumber. If the fruit is bitter, peel the skin. Rub the cucumber on a coarse grater or just cut into thin strips.
In the center of a flat plate we put a liver pancake, apply a thin layer of sour cream-mayonnaise mixture on it. Put a little sautéed onion with carrots on top.
Cover with the next liver pancake. Apply mayonnaise with sour cream. Put the cucumber.
In the future, repeat the layers. Lubricate the top pancake with a sour cream-mayonnaise mixture.
We give the finished cake to stand for about 1 hour - soak. Then sprinkle the top of the cake with finely chopped green onions and serve.
The cake is easily cut into beautiful pieces.
This recipe can be changed to complement the filling to your liking. You can put boiled chicken fillet, fried mushrooms, grated cheese between the pancakes - it all depends on your desire.
