Pork liver stir fry is an extremely flavorful dish that is also quite affordable. The taste of the liver is mild and slightly sweet, and it has a very tender texture. This goes well with the crunchy onions and homemade stir-fry sauce. Many people in the United States tend to turn down liver and other more unique cuts of meat. However, the liver is one of the most delectable parts of the animal....

When I made these to accompany the Indian-Spiced Lamb chops a few nights ago, my husband said that he could eat them all day, everyday and he would never get sick of them.

So you can understand the amount of relief I felt when he kept saying how delicious they were....
