Liver

[cjane]

Got some liver from the butcher and want to make some training treats.  Tried the liver cake recipe before and it turned out a bit crumbely.  Want to make something thats quite firm, easy to cut up or to carry a chunk and break bits off when required.  Any-one point me in the right direction.

Too much flour?  How long did you give it in the oven, i usually give it about 20mins in a swiss roll tin and its nice and cakey, i give it a bit longer if i want it chewier 

[cjane]

Which recipe do you use Foxisle?

[Foxisle_crazy]

I use

8oz liver
4oz  SR flour
2eggs
water
and sometimes garlic,if im up for it, the smell of the liver and garlic together is too much sometimes 

[cjane]

Thanks Fox, I'll give it a try.

can you leave out the flour or substitute?

[Foxisle_crazy]

I haven't tried it without the flour but i think you probably could, you'd just have to cook it different.  Maybe a bain marie and it would be more like a pate/terrine?

[SuzAndTheDiva]

maybe a what and more like a ?? - english for the non cooks lol!

I will maybe give it a go hehe!!

Best way is to stick the liver in a pot with some garlic cloves boil it up leave to cool cut up into tiny peices spread on a tray then bake in an oven low heat until they are hard bag up as you like can be used straight out of the freezer or fresh

You can all tell how much dogs love liver cooked his way if the Diva will eat it burn't 
Suz I swear you could burn water 

ahhh yes i tried that val - i burnt them  will try again on a lower heat - honey did like them though!!!!

[SuzAndTheDiva]

haha yeah cos honey no like burnt stuff normally  but she LOVED them 

I have been none to boil a saucepan dry - I get ummmm sidetracked! 

[Foxisle_crazy]

LOL sorry suz!  a bain marie is basically just the pan your cooking in sat in a bigger pan of water then put in the oven.  It heats gently instead of a harsh blast.  It'll probably be quite smooth and soft 

[SuzAndTheDiva]

uhuh thats a new one on me lol! ok would it be too soft do you think?

Still think easier option is you make Honeys treats and i buy them off you

Instead of burning it in the oven Suz you could always put it in the microwave
