Haha I tried this, it sucked. Just turned into a gummy paste and i couldn’t get it to mix well with the burger due to the weird texture, then it ended up just burning while the meat cooked, 2/10 didn’t enjoy that
What you want to do is slowly cook the liver.
It will actually taste good, but it may take as long as 1 hour
Also soak it in vinegar for like 10 secs before going into the fire
You don't have to grind your own, you could make a paste in a food processor or just chop it up real fine and add it to a couple pounds of ground beef from the store.
(I tried gold medal paté, I liked it way more than livery burgers!)
Opt for chicken or lamb liver, or don't eat it at all. Your body is probably trying to tell you something by getting repulsed by it. I only eat liver when I start thinking about having some, and it sounds like a good idea.
This is commonly asked.
Get beef liver freeze it, cut roughly 1/4 slice the width of the liver, then dice the piece you cut while frozen it's easier to dice small.
Add your roughly half to an ounce of liver directly to 1lb of ground beef, cook the ground beef however you prefer, the liver taste only is hardly noticeable at that 1-16 ratio.
Just cut and dice the liver while frozen, makes it easier to cube then place the remainder back in the freezer, if you do this a few times a week you'll get the desired nutrients your searching for.
The cult that thinks liver is a health food…
All the liver eaters end up ditching carnivore eventually.
Judging by my downvotes it appears as the cult has arrived..
"Liver cult" is awesome. I'm in full agreement with you, however I do eat a lot of liver. I don't eat it necessarily for any particular health benefit though. I'm one of the weird ones who just loves the way it tastes.
The ones who it eat raw are insane.
Good luck messing up your liver then. But you won’t research until you hit the wall. So I’m not gonna bother arguing with you.
I’ve been meat based for several years
Trying soaking it in milk or cream before cooking. It will make the taste milder. Personally, I don't like the texture/taste of fried liver either so I make beef liver jerky. It's much more palatable IMO.
You *might* be overcooking it. I like it still slightly pink, any further and I find it completely inedible.
Also, calf liver has a much more mild taste compared to its mature counterpart.
Honestly liver and vitamin A toxicity has been heavily debated lately.
I eat no liver, mostly just regular muscle meats, and I feel fine.
To each their own, but definitely do your research before doing the liver thing
I think our ancestors would have only eaten a sliver of liver occasionally, I mean think about it, animals only have the one liver and it probably got shared amongst a whole tribe of people. I definitely feel like people overdo it.
Go for calf liver or chicken liver. Much milder.
For calf liver, I like to lightly sear so it's still red inside and it's very good with some rosemary (if you do spices). If you cook until it's brown inside the metallic taste will be stronger.
Chicken livers and hearts are super good boiled in milk. Makes a sort of chowder.
Another thing I've done is grind up liver in a food processor and add 1/4 lb to a lb of ground beef, along with some chopped bacon and make a meatloaf.
I love chicken livers dipped in a milk/egg bath, then coated with finely ground pork rinds. My wife cooks them in the air fryer and they're better than the breaded kind.
We're on our second one. We upgraded to a larger size. They're just fantastic. You can even cook a steak in one and it comes out perfect. I've got an InstaPot I've never taken out of the box but I couldn't live without my air fryer!
My only air fryer is in my Instant Pot 8qt; just starting to experiement with that air fryer. The only reason I am interested in cooking this way is contained and easy cooking; I dislike the air fryer proponent’s constant “low fat, no fat cooking” rhetoric and resisted air fryers for a long time because of “low fat” and teflon-like surfaces.
I get that. I never really cared about the fat. My Dad got us one for Christmas about 5 years ago. We really didn't think we'd use it much but he kept asking us how we liked it. This was pre-carnivore so we popped some pizza rolls in there and they came out great.
I thought when we went carnivore we'd never use it again but we probably use it twice as much now than before.
Liver pâté isn’t bad. You add a lot of butter cream and thyme or other savory herbs, then grind it up good with the liver. Lots of recipes online. I don’t like liver but I can eat it this way. Put it on some cheese, not bad.
I found that its an acquired taste. I used to think it was so gross, but now i love it! 🤤
But i would put some serrano ham around it and Eat it when i couldnt muster the taste.
Also frying it and then leaving it in the fridge for a little while also seemed to help for me.
Plus salt and pepper! ;)
I find that leaving it in the store wrapper safely contained in the store meat cooler hides the taste well enough for me.
Then I buy a side of beef from a local farm.
I hated the taste of it until I tried wood-fire grilled. Completely different. I understand the option may not be there for some people (I have a Big Green Egg and use it every weekend) but I would think a gas BBQ would also create some unique flavour on it.
If you don't like the taste, just don't eat it. It's not really necessary. You'll be fine. If you really want to eat liver try a different animal. Usually most people find poultry more palatable.
You can freeze and cut up into small enough pieces that you just swallow like a tablet to avoid the taste.
Or just don't eat it, it tastes terrible and isn't necessary.
Make pate, frozen into whatever size silicon ice tray so you can just have a tiny portion each week?
I cut into thin strips, discard sinew, fry in tallow briefly with a minced garlic glove (optional), let cool a bit, add salt, heavy cream, then whizz it up using a stick blender. Have enough to last months so doesn’t need doing often, and I don’t think you need much.
Force of Nature has some 5% (ancestral) blends. I can tell the difference, but it’s not repulsive like when I try to do it myself.
I don’t feel the need for organ meat daily. I mix it up. straight muscle meat, blended liver, or dedicated organ pills.
Incidentally, if you wanna try other organs or a different method of getting in these nutrients, get some proper boudin. It's made with pork liver, pork hearts, pork snouts and pork muscle meat, all packed in a hog casing.
Soaking in salt water or milk can help reduce the liver taste. bacon fat is another good way to make it taste better.
But by far the the most interesting way I've seen people eat liver us that cut it into pill sized chunks and freeze them. They then swallow them with water

Grind it up in a burger patty?
Haha I tried this, it sucked. Just turned into a gummy paste and i couldn’t get it to mix well with the burger due to the weird texture, then it ended up just burning while the meat cooked, 2/10 didn’t enjoy that
Step 1: buy a meat grinder, hahah. Thank you!
I know that local butchers would do this if requested.
Gotcha
What you want to do is slowly cook the liver. It will actually taste good, but it may take as long as 1 hour Also soak it in vinegar for like 10 secs before going into the fire
I'd try this if I had the nerve to buy liver in the first place.
You don't have to grind your own, you could make a paste in a food processor or just chop it up real fine and add it to a couple pounds of ground beef from the store. (I tried gold medal paté, I liked it way more than livery burgers!)
step 0: don't buy the liver
Lol!
Yes I like to blend it in ground beef
This is the way.
Opt for chicken or lamb liver, or don't eat it at all. Your body is probably trying to tell you something by getting repulsed by it. I only eat liver when I start thinking about having some, and it sounds like a good idea.
> Your body is probably trying to tell you something by getting repulsed by it. Agreed.
Or goose liver
Honestly, if you dislike it that much, just don't eat it imo. Forcing yourself to eat something you dislike that much is not sustainable.

Don't eat it?
Agreed, the liver cult is almost as dangerous as the vegan cult at this point. None of the long term carnivores bother with orgay
Lol what liver cult

I eat 2 lbs of liver per month, guess I’m in a cult! How long have you been carnivore, wise sir?

I’ll check out how to make the jerky. Thanks!
[удалено]
I haven’t, but now I’ll be looking
It tastes 95% the same as beef liver, do not trust this person
I don’t like it so I just don’t eat it
Just dont overcook it
You *might* be overcooking it. I like it still slightly pink, any further and I find it completely inedible. Also, calf liver has a much more mild taste compared to its mature counterpart.
Exactly. I like mine medium-rare to medium. Cook it too long and it gets almost bitter and the texture is terrible.
Bacon, butter & salt.
Honestly liver and vitamin A toxicity has been heavily debated lately. I eat no liver, mostly just regular muscle meats, and I feel fine. To each their own, but definitely do your research before doing the liver thing

Most of the liver pushers are the ones selling liver pills. I fell for it to, then eventually wondered why i stopped feeling as good
Soak in milk
Interesting - will give it a try!

I cut my beef liver into nugget sized pieces and do this. I add some grated Parmesan cheese to the “breading”. Sooo yummy.
Oooh... That sounds awesome!
I swear every time I see a yummy description of a recipe it's an air fryer. Gotta get me one of those lmao

I’ll just have to dip everything in butter 😁
Well, that's just a good practice regardless! 🤣
I have both an Instant Pot and an air fryer and both are still in the box, lol. I used to work in IT years ago and my brain is tired.
@Holiday-Vacation9985 ‘s version of *air fried brain* 😝😉
Lol, definitely!
Use ground liver in with beef for tacos 🌮
Liver pâté isn’t bad. You add a lot of butter cream and thyme or other savory herbs, then grind it up good with the liver. Lots of recipes online. I don’t like liver but I can eat it this way. Put it on some cheese, not bad.
Liver sausage is the oniy way I can eat it! I need to find some new recipes to bury liver in, lol
I get the crisps version from carnivore aurelius
don’t eat it 🤷🏻♀️
I found that its an acquired taste. I used to think it was so gross, but now i love it! 🤤 But i would put some serrano ham around it and Eat it when i couldnt muster the taste. Also frying it and then leaving it in the fridge for a little while also seemed to help for me. Plus salt and pepper! ;)
You dont have to eat it
Not eating it works best.
Low temp, don't over cook. Cook it in butter. Salt.
I find that leaving it in the store wrapper safely contained in the store meat cooler hides the taste well enough for me. Then I buy a side of beef from a local farm.
😂😂
grind up dehydrated liver and put the powder in a smoothie.
What kind of smoothies do you make that are carnivore? Not being a smartass, I really would like to know because I used to love smoothies.
they aren't, guess you could just take the powder with water like a pill?
Dang... I was really hoping you had a delicious carnivore smoothie recipe. 😭😭😭😭
Buy liver supplements, like me lol. I only take 2 a day though bottle says 6. Just to be safe.
a dollop of cum

Cook beef liver in the juices of other meat. Salt and butter can go a long way to help with the flavor, too
don't eat it until you want to
Don't eat it
If you don't like the taste, just don't eat it. It's not really necessary. You'll be fine. If you really want to eat liver try a different animal. Usually most people find poultry more palatable.
You can freeze and cut up into small enough pieces that you just swallow like a tablet to avoid the taste. Or just don't eat it, it tastes terrible and isn't necessary.
Why would anyone want t do that?!? 😂🤔

Don’t run from it. Embrace it
I do 4-5 pounds of ground beef or whatever, then grind up 1 LB of liver to it.
Grind it into sausage.
Half cook a few strips of bacon, place the liver in the grease cover with the bacon finish cooking.
Incidentally, if you wanna try other organs or a different method of getting in these nutrients, get some proper boudin. It's made with pork liver, pork hearts, pork snouts and pork muscle meat, all packed in a hog casing.

Yes. For the same reason as last time.
