[rec.food.recipes] LAMB: Foie Chenin

kdr@doc.ic.ac.uk (K D Rigotti) (03/01/91)

This little gem is the result of attempting to make liver taste less
like liver and more like something most of us would like to eat.

INGREDIENTS
	lambs liver
	1 bottle of (Californian) chenin blanc
	dried oregano
	dried mint
	1 tablespoon of oil

METHOD 

Rinse the liver, especially if is was frozen and definitely if
defrosted by microwave.  Cut it into generous slices (3-4 mm thick) and
fry lightly in the oil for about 5 minutes. Add half a glass of the
wine and simmer for another five minutes, during which gradually add
generous amounts of oregano and mint, stirring occasionally. Excellent
when served with new potatoes and spring greens.

The choice of wine is quite important since it is light and only
slightly dry so will not swamp everything else, it's also a *very* nice
wine to drink with the meal :-)
