Fun Liver Recipe #1
Posted by michiganredneck on May 7, 2008
I guess my OCD is working overtime here. A couple posts ago while on my soap box regarding President Bush wanting to give out more handouts I rambled on about grocery shopping. And I promised that from now on I am going to post 101 fun liver recipes. I bet ya didn’t believe me. Well, I’ll show you. Don’t worry, that’s not all I am going to post about. Here is recipe #1, Liver and cabbage casserole.
- Cabbage
- Liver
- Diced Tomatoes
- Mushrooms
- Onions (optional)
- Celery (optional)
- Green peppers (optional)
- Cheese (any flavor)
I did not give exact measurements. My great grandma always said that a good cook does not need recipes, except for maybe desserts. How little or much a woman (yes, I consider cooks as women. What of it?) wants to use is up to her.
Recipe: Take a head of cabbage and peel off the leaves. Place leaves in bottom of casserole dish. Make it a rather thick layer as the hot juices will thin out the leaves. Now add liver on top. I added about 3/4 of a pound. Pour a can of diced tomatoes, or as much or as little of fresh diced tomatoes. (If you prefer you can also mix in chopped onions, green peppers, celery or whatever you choose, to the tomatoes.) Top that with one layer of sliced mushrooms. Add as much or as little shredded cheese to taste. I prefer to buy a big block of cheese and shred it. It is healthier and lasts longer than pre-packaged cheese. They put some sort of preservatives on the pre-packaged stuff, to keep the little shreds from sticking to each other. Put one thin layer of cabbage on top of that. Add lid to casserole dish. Bake at 350 degrees for about half hour.
While that is baking, mix and boil Czech dumplings. I can not reveal the recipes I use for dumplings. The recipes I use are copyrighted from Marie Rosický’s Bohemian-American Cook Book. My copy is the third edition, from 1949. I believe, but not sure, that it is the first copy translated into English. The cookbook is still in publication. This cookbook also has handy home remedies for cleaning, that I will share with y’all sometime.
