Notes
Liver is cut more easily when is still partially frozen so don't let your frozen liver thaw out completely.
If you are new to eating liver and/or you don't like its strong taste, use milk in this recipe instead of broth or water: milk makes the taste of liver less strong and sweeter. Of course, this only applies if you can tolerate dairy.
To cover the taste even more you can add any herb and/or spice, fresh or dry, as well as garlic.
