| "This
recipe has always been a crowd pleaser - during the holidays, or
just a weekend party dish. It is simple and easily prepared the
night before. It is especially a pleaser for those who are not sure
they care for the taste of liver. The onion and liver combination
if left overnight really blends well to bring out the good liver
flavor." |
