Liver Cakes

A little more work than just sauteing liver with onions, but worth it.

4 servings

Ingredients:

• 1 lb beef liver
• 1-1/2 cups hot water
• 3 Tablespoons finely chopped onion
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• Bacon slices

Directions:

Combine liver and hot water.

Cover and simmer 5 minutes. Drain.

Put the liver through medium blade of food chopper.

Mix together the ground liver, onion, and egg.

Add a mixture of the flour, salt, and pepper.

Shape into round cakes and wrap a bacon slice around each.

Fasten with wooden pick.

Fry until well done.
