Delicate liver cake made from beef liver with sour cream

Another great option for preparing a delicious holiday snack with an unusual sour cream layer. Thanks to the delicate cream, the taste of beef liver cake is simply incredible.

Ingredients:

• Sour cream – 250-300 g
• Liver (beef) – 0.7-0.8 kg
• Chicken eggs – 5 pcs.
• Salt - a few pinches
• Garlic cloves – 5-6 pcs.
• Refined sunflower oil – 1-2 tbsp. l.
• Potato starch – 2 tbsp. l.
• Wheat flour – 2 tbsp. l.
• Ground pepper - on the tip of a knife
• Onions – 3 pcs.

Cooking process:

1. Let's start preparing this wonderful cake. First of all, you need to peel the onions, rinse and cut into 4 parts. Then peel 3 cloves of garlic and turn both ingredients into garlic and onion puree. You can do this using a meat grinder, blender or regular grater (although this is the most time-consuming option).

2. Now it’s the liver’s turn. To make the cake tender, you must first soak the liver in milk (but you can also in water) for 2 hours. After this, rinse the liver thoroughly under running water, remove all films and cut into not very large pieces (such that they can fit into a meat grinder).We do the same with the liver as with garlic and onions: pass it through a meat grinder or grind it using a blender. Mix liver puree and onion and garlic puree. Beat two chicken eggs in there. Add salt and pepper to the resulting mixture, and then mix all the ingredients well.

3. Sift flour and potato starch using a sieve and gradually add to the liver dough. While adding flour, constantly stir the dough with a whisk.

4. To prevent the liver dough from sticking to the frying pan, just grease it with oil, you need to heat the frying pan properly and only then add oil to it and start baking. Grease a well-heated frying pan with a small amount of vegetable oil and pour in one ladle of dough. If necessary, rotate the pan so that the dough is evenly distributed over the entire bottom of the pan. One liver cake is baked for approximately 5 minutes.

5. Boil 3 eggs in boiling water for 10 minutes, you should get hard-boiled eggs. When the eggs are boiled, immerse them in cold water for 10 minutes - this will make it easier to peel the shell. Remove the yolks from the peeled eggs and mash them with a fork. Then add sour cream and 3 finely chopped garlic cloves. Add salt to the cream and mix well until it reaches a homogeneous consistency.

6. It's time to start assembling the cake. Place the first liver cake on a large plate and coat it with sour cream (for convenience, the cream can be placed in a plastic bag with a cut corner or in a pastry syringe), cover with the next cake on top. Continue alternating the cakes with the cream until all the ingredients are gone.The top of the cake can be decorated to your liking, for example, by coating it with cream and garnishing with finely chopped dill.
