Bacon Wrapped Beef Liver Roulade - Stuffed with Spinach & Feta Cheese

This recipe for bacon wrapped beef liver roulade, stuffed with spinach & feta cheese, is super delicious and easy to make. The flavors complement each other perfectly. In addition, it's a very nutrient dense and therefore satiating dish. Of course, you could also use other stuffings

CourseMain Dish
Keywordbacon wrapped, beef, feta cheese, liver, organ meat, oven baked, roulade, spinach, stuffed stuff

Servings2 roulades

Prep Time10 minutes

Cook Time30 minutes

Ingredients

300gram beef liver2 pieces
100gram spinachpre-cooked
100gram feta cheesecut into dices or cuboids
200gram baconabout 16 slices

Seasonings

1pinch Salt
1pinch Pepper
1pinch Cayenne pepperoptional

Instructions

First, preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F)
Put the beef liver on a cutting board and beat the pieces with a meat hammer to make them flatter. You don't need to flip them, it is enough if you just hit from one side. Also, make sure that you don't hit too hard as the meat already is pretty tender and you don't want to create holes
Next, add the seasonings, also from one side only - this will be the inside. Then, spread the spinach (e.g. with a spoon) on the pieces
Afterwards, put the feta cheese on top. Place it centered and only on one half of the liver pieces. This way it is easier to roll them up
Now, roll the liver up. Start on the side with the cheese to make sure it is in the center of the roulade
After that, create a bacon weave of 4-5 slices on top of each roulade. Lift each one up with one hand while wrapping the bacon around the bottom with the other hand
If you have small packets, wrap another layer of bacon around them to make sure everything is nicely wrapped without any big gaps and place the roulades on a baking tray with parchment paper
Finally, put the baking tray into the oven and bake the roulades for 25-30 minutes until the bacon becomes brown and crispy

Recipe Notes

You probably could skip the meat hammer step if your beef liver pieces already are pretty flat (about 0.5cm / 0.2in of thickness).

If they are way too thick, lay them on the cutting board.
Then, cut from one side with a sharp knife until you nearly reached the end of the other side.
Now, you can simply fold out the pieces and have thinner ones.

At step 3 I used frozen spinach which I thawed & pre-cooked in the microwave for about 3 minutes while beating up the liver:

Of course, you may also use different stuffings.

One idea that I've had was pizza stuffing with tomato paste or fresh tomatoes, mozzarella cheese & Italian / Mediterranean herbs (oregano, rosemary, thyme). Maybe with some additional ground beef, pepperoni, fried chicken or even pulled pork.

Easy Liver Burger – With Beef Liver & Chicken Hearts

KetoKookin' — Mon, 11 Feb 2019 15:35:57 +0000

Easy Liver Burger - With Beef Liver & Chicken Hearts

These beef liver burger are easily prepared within only 30 minutes. In addition, they taste delicious and are packed with valuable and essential nutrients due to the organ meats containing multiple vitamins as well as iron, copper and choline which is important for brain development and liver function.

CourseMain Dish
Keywordbeef, burger patty, chicken hearts, dairy free, fried meat, liver, organ meat, pan fried, under 30 minutes, zero carb

Servings6 patties

Prep Time2 minutes

Cook Time20 minutes

Ingredients

300gram beef liverroughly cut pieces
300gram chicken hearts
1 eggs

Seasonings

1teaspoon Salt
1teaspoon Pepper
1teaspoon Cumin

Instructions

First, put the beef liver, chicken hearts & all seasonings into your food processor
Then, mince everything for about 30 seconds, add the egg and mince again for a few seconds until everything is mixed. To give the burgers a better consistency you may also add 1-2 tablespoons of coconut / almond flour or psyllium husk powder at this step
Now, add some coconut oil or your preferred fat for frying to a pan and heat it up to low-medium heat. A non-stick pan would be perfect. In case you don't have one make sure to use enough fat to prevent sticking
Next, use a spoon to put blobs of the meat mixture -with about 0.8 centimeters (about 1/3 inch) of thickness- into the pan
Let the burgers fry slowly, for about 10 minutes, before flipping to make sure that they don't fall apart. It is easiest to wait until they start to become solid and coloured on their top's edges
After flipping, fry for another 5-10 minutes until the burgers have reached your desired color. I like them to be more on the dark brown side

Pork Liver Meatloaf – Keto Liver Bread

KetoKookin' — Mon, 17 Sep 2018 13:17:57 +0000

Pork Liver Meatloaf - Keto Liver Bread

This liver meatloaf / liver bread made from pork liver is extremely nutritious & easy to prepare with only 3 main ingredients plus seasonings. It makes a nice main or side dish, breakfast or snack and works well as a low carb & nutrient dense substitute for bread or burger buns. It can be enhanced easily by adding extra ingredients to the basic mixture. You only need a food processor, a loaf pan and -of course- an oven for the preparation.

CourseBreakfast, Main Dish, Side Dish, Snack
Keywordcheese, cream cheese, eggs, liver, meatloaf, oven baked, pork

Servings1 loaf

Prep Time3 minutes

Cook Time1 hour

Ingredients

400gram pork liver
150gram cream cheese
3 eggs

Seasonings

2teaspoon(s) Salt
2teaspoon(s) Pepper
1teaspoon(s) Cumin
1teaspoon(s) Coriander
1pinch Paprikanot mandatory

Instructions

First, preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Meanwhile, put the pork liver into a food processor and mince it for 30-45 seconds until you have a viscous mixture
Next, add the cream cheese, eggs & all seasonings and mince everything again until the mixture is homogenous. This should take about 1 minute and if necessary scrape off the residues from the side of your food processor's container, then mix again for a minute
Now, put a baking sheet inside a loaf pan or grease it with butter to prevent sticking. Then, pour the mixture into it
Finally, put your loaf pan into the oven and bake the mixture for about 1 hour until it is solid

Recipe Notes

You can check if the loaf is done by sticking a chopstick into it and pulling it out again. If there is no residue on the chopstick your liver meatloaf / liver bread is finished.

This recipe is very basic and you can modify it by adding ground beef, a diced onion, a minced avocado(minced in food processor before adding the liver) or some shredded cheese that you stir in with a spoon after mincing everything.

For a liver pudding, simply add a tablespoon of butter, 100g heavy cream & 250g ground pork/beef to the mixture and 2-3 bay leaves on top, before putting it into the oven.

Another idea would be to bake the mixture for about 20-30 minutes on a baking tray and using it as a pizza crust.

I simply added some mustard, low carb ketchup and cheese. If you want to you can go all the way to make sandwiches with the liver bread, with salad, cucumber, bacon, cheese and a fried egg - or whatever you prefer.

1teaspoon(s) Salt
2teaspoon(s) Pepper
2teaspoon(s) Paprika
1teaspoon(s) Cumin
1pinch Coriander
1pinch Garlic powder
1pinch Chili

Instructions

You need to marinate the chicken liver about 12-24 hours before you want to cook it. Optimally, you do this the previous evening if possible
Put the chicken livers into a zip lock bag or a container and add all other ingredients
Mix everything thoroughly and make sure that the meat is completely covered. Then, close your zip lock bag or container and store it in the fridge for 12-24 hours
When this waiting period is over, preheat your pan with some lard or coconut oil in it to medium heat
Finally, fry the chicken liver for 10-15 minutes. It is no problem if some of the marinade goes into the pan and you can even use it to cook the liver in it or make a sauce out of it
While the liver is cooking, you may prepare some side dishes, like boiled eggs, vegetables or mushrooms

Recipe Notes

Never pour raw, leftover marinade over the cooked liver.

If you want to use the leftover marinade, make sure to boil it up to kill all harmful bacteria.

Don't marinate in aluminum containers or foil, because a chemical reaction could spoil the food.

The best way to marinate liver is using the zip lock bag in order for it to be evenly surrounded by the marinade.
