Liver hack:

You know how it falls apart if you try to handle it? Pour a pot of boiling water in a bowl and gently slide it in the water and wait about 5 minutes. Gets cooked enough to manage but not so done you can eat it yet.

Does liver fall apart when you handle it? I never found that to be so. Its a bit slippery but doesn't fall apart.

It's rare, at least here, to find it not already sliced. It's sliced too thin and falls apart.

Ah, OK. I buy it in large bits here.

Sometimes Morelo's Market has the large pieces but they're few and far between. Ever make liver loaf?

True. Usually frozen, sliced frozen and individually vacuum packed frozen. Reason why it falls apart. Industrial packaging.

Not made liver loaf, no. Is it like a meatloaf?

Yes, except being predominantly ground beef it's mostly, 2/3rds or so, liver. I'm sure with your culinary skills you could make an exemplary one, no doubt! I've posted a link here.

Thanks. I've never made a meatloaf. Its not really a thing in the UK. I have made terrines in the past though, using liver.

I think this would be a more homogeneous version of a terrine. Fewer texture changes but very good for sammie's.
