Wild Greens with Beef Liver
Fresh wild greens wilt gently in salted water, while beef liver is lightly floured and fried golden. In this earthy, humble dish, the robust meat of liver contrasts beautifully with bitter-sweet greens—offering nourishment, texture, and soulful simplicity.
Ingredients
- 1-2 kg wild greens (it’s ideal to gather them yourself if possible)
- 4-5 pieces of beef liver
- Salt
- Flour
- 1 large onion, sliced into rings
- Oil
Instructions
For the Greens:
- Clean the greens thoroughly. Soak them in water with a little vinegar for 5 minutes to remove any insects, then rinse 4-5 times to ensure they’re free of dirt.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add the greens, and cook uncovered to maintain their green color. Boil until they reach your preferred level of tenderness.
For the Liver:
- Place flour on a plate. Without rinsing the liver, salt it lightly and coat it in the flour.
- Heat oil in a skillet until hot, then fry the liver for 2-3 minutes on each side until it’s nicely browned. (Avoid washing the liver before cooking to retain its nutrients.)
- In a separate pan, heat a little oil and sauté the onion rings until golden. Place the onions over the liver when ready.
Why It’s Irresistible
The liver’s rich, bold flavor balances the deep greens and softened onion—each bite delivers contrast, warmth, and rustic character.
