Notes: If you want to cut the strong taste of liver, you can soak the liver for up to an hour in organic buttermilk. *You can dredge liver in tapioca flour before cooking. Usually the liver will come in 3-4 bigger pieces in the package. If you buy it pre-sliced in strips, you can cook it the same way as above.
