I know plenty of people who would not sit down at my table if I was serving liver for dinner - my mom is the first to come to mind - but man do I love it. It leaves me feeling strong and powerful. Liver is actually on my list of "super foods" - it's an amazing source of iron and B vitamins, a great food for women during menstruation.
When buying liver, it's incredibly important to choose organic and free-range. This organ has many important functions in the body including detoxification. So every exposure to pesticides, heavy metals and other toxins is filtered through it. The body burden of factory farmed livestock can be overwhelming, so avoid conventional factory-farmed liver.
This recipe is one of my favorite ways to enjoy chicken liver and a great gateway recipe for giving this superfood a chance.
