Liver is considered as one of superfoods because it is dense with nutrients. It is rich in Vitamin B12, Vitamin B2, Vitamin A, Zinc, Iron, Copper among other nutrients. However not many people like eating liver because of its metallic taste. There are a few tricks that one can use to make it more enjoyable to eat. One of the tricks is to soak the liver in lemon juice or vinegar for a few minutes before cooking. Alternatively you can soak it in milk before cooking. But if you are like me, you would consider this as a waste of milk. So this is how I cook my liver to make it more palatable.
