Method
Rinse the liver, pat dry with paper towels, trim off membranes and veins; slice the onion4 into 0.5 cm half-rings, halve the tomatoes3, and tear the salad leaves by hand.
Heat a skillet with sunflower oil over high heat for 1 minute.
Add the liver and sear for 3 minutes, flipping once; reduce heat to medium, add the onions4, and cook for another 4 minutes until the onions soften and the liver loses its pink center.
Pour in the soy sauce mixed with honey, add black pepper, and simmer for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
Arrange the salad and tomatoes3 on a plate, top with the liver and onions4, and drizzle with the pan sauce.
Serve warm with a slice of whole8-grain bread.
Tips
- Why it works
- Fry liver on high heat to seal the outside quickly. This prevents it from drying out or becoming rubbery inside. Overcooking turns it gray and tough.
- Substitutions
- Replace honey with maple syrup (5g) for a less sweet taste. Use olive oil (10g) instead of sunflower if you prefer a milder flavor.
- Common mistakes
- Liver turns gray or slimy if overcooked; check by cutting a piece. It should be pink inside and juicy, not dry.
- Storing and reheating
- Eat fresh or within 1 day; reheat gently in a pan for 1 minute to avoid drying. Freezing ruins texture.
- Serve with
- Pair with a cold glass of green tea or a slice of cucumber to balance the richness.
In short
- Marked healthy: the planner picks it more often for the goals “lose weight” and “eat well”.
