  1. Ahhhh, I love cumin!
    Smells like fresh man stuff!
    Thanks for this and I look forward to exploring your collection. This is only my second attempt at cooking liver and this is by far the best direction. Maybe I will play with adding a touch of ginger next time,

    Best,

  2. Hi Virginia,

    I am glad you liked this recipe. Adding ginger sounds great; let me know how it works. I am not a big fan of liver in general, but I like it cooked this way as does my husband. It has a very distinct taste. This is one of my mom's recipes; however, she boils the liver prior to cooking it in the stew. Hope you enjoy the rest of my recipes.
