Roe Liver Recipe (for non-liver lover!)

Got a few roe buck livers in the freezer from the rut over the last few weeks.

Other than fried with onions and bacon or pate, anyone got any ideas what I can do with it?

Preferably something which helps to make it more mild tasting.... I used to love liver but since having my toddlers I just can't stomach it the same as pre-pregnancy!
 
I have tried many ways, soaking in milk was suppose to make it more palatable, it’s not just deer liver but lamb, beef etc. Bird’s livers I love, the nearest to enjoyable was liver strips wrapped in Parma ham and put on the BBQ it was crumbly as opposed to slimy and horrible.
 
My pate recipe is a good one. Tried and tested by several SD members, too :thumb:

Second that.
 
If you really want a new experience with liver, get it into the frying pan while it's still warm from the animal. No need for onions or pineapples or any of that malarkey, just a knob of butter to fry it in, good and hot. Unbelievable! Sweet and mild-tasting. It'll just melt in your mouth!

Once it's been in the freezer it needs to be made into something in order to be palatable. Pate is the obvious one. Fagotts are good too, particularly if you've got a bit of caul fat to wrap them up in.
 
I’m with VSS on this on, same day or the morning after, Roe is the mildest liver I’ve tasted. I normally prepare it into a Hunter’s Breakfast, heart, liver and kidneys cubed, marinated in garlic oil, salt, pepper and smoked paprika, then fried with some bacon lardons, and served on toast with scrambled egg on the side 😋. Only compliments from those house guests who’ve tried it!
 
I should point you to this thread:
 
We had a muntie liver today, along with kidneys, eaten with 4 hours of demise. Friend’s wife made a marvellous curry with it.

I grew up eating liver/kidney/brains as a curry, always a massive favourite with parathas.

could you get a recipe
 
Personally I’d suggest you don’t bother with rut/post rut roe buck liver, wait until you get the doe season and it’ll be totally different (in a good way).

Cut into rough cubes big enough to get a couple bites out of, toss in seasoned flour, sauté in butter for 5 mins, tear up a few sage leaves near the end and add them to the pan. As youngsters we didn’t realise that lamb’s liver was actually from a ’baby’ animal, but we aye found it to be tough by comparison to roe liver.

A good point, I might stop feeling guilty about giving the rut liver to the dogs and re-acquaint my taste buds with a nice doe liver instead in due course!
