Chicken liver is nutritious and delicious, but can be challenging to cook due to its unpleasant odor. The smell can linger on hands, utensils and in the air. However, there are some effective ways to eliminate the smell and get the most out of the experience.
How to get rid of chicken liver smell?
To eliminate the strong smell of chicken livers, soak them in milk before cooking, marinate them in lemon juice or vinegar, use garlic as a flavoring when cooking, and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. These methods will help you enjoy the nutritional benefits of chicken livers without the unpleasant smell.
Soaked Chicken Liver in Milk
To eliminate the smell of chicken livers, soak them in milk before cooking. Milk contains lactic acid, which removes odors. Place raw liver in a bowl of milk, making sure to cover completely, and refrigerate for a few hours. The longer you soak, the less smelly it will be. Finally, pour off the milk and rinse the liver with water.
Marinate the liver in lemon juice or vinegar
Soaking the liver in lemon juice or vinegar not only breaks down bad-smelling molecules, it also tenderizes it and adds rich flavor to recipes. Mix with herbs and condiments and marinate for 30-60 minutes before cooking.
Cooking with strong aromatics
Adding strong, aromatic ingredients such as garlic, onions, shallots, and parsley, along with time, can eliminate the musky and metallic smell of chicken livers during cooking and eating.
