Liver Skillet Supper
Whenever I
serve this to people for the first time, someone exclaims, "I can't believe it's
liver!" Around here, that's what we call this recipe, which I devised 12 years
ago. Ever since, my family has loved liver. As veteran custom harvesters over
the past 25 years ago, we've provided meals for many hungry "hands". This
enabled me to develop my dual passions for creating new recipes and quantity
cooking. ~ Barb
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound sliced bacon
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt, divided
- 1 teaspoon onion salt, divided
- 1 teaspoon pepper, divided
- 1 pound beef liver
- 6 large potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 large onions, thinly sliced
- Green pepper rings, optional
Directions
- In a large skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Remove to a paper towel to drain; reserve drippings in skillet. Combine flour and half of the garlic salt, onion salt and pepper. Cut liver into 2-in. x 1/2-in. strips; dredge in the flour mixture, coating well. Lightly brown liver in drippings. Add potatoes and onion. Sprinkle with remaining seasonings; cook until the potatoes are browned and tender, stirring occasionally. Crumble bacon over top. Garnish with green pepper rings if desired. Yield: 4-6 servings.
Discovered: Cancer-Killing Compound Produced Naturally in the Liver
Montreal, January 4, 2012 — Lithocholic acid (LCA), naturally produced in the liver during digestion, has been seriously underestimated. A study published in the journal Oncotarget shows that LCA can kill several types of cancer cells, such as those found in some brain tumors and breast cancer.
The research team, led by Concordia University, included scientists from
McGill University and the Jewish General Hospital’s Lady Davis
Institute in Montreal as well as the University of Saskatchewan.
Previous research from this same team showed LCA also extends the lifespan of aging yeast. This time, the team found LCA to be very selective in killing cancer cells while leaving normal cells unscathed. This could signal a huge improvement over the baby-with-the-bathwater drugs used in chemotherapy.
“LCA doesn’t just kill individual cancer cells. It could also prevent the entire tumor from growing,” says senior author Vladimir Titorenko, a professor in the Department of Biology and Concordia University Research Chair in Genomics, Cell Biology and Aging.
