PAPRIKA GARLIC BEEF LIVER

Happy Valentines' Day my Lovelies!! Whether you are celebrating it or not, it's a beautiful day to be alive and what counts is that you love yourself first and then all other 'loves' will follow. So I know everyone is doing or expecting red this, red that, or mostly just desserts. Now is usually the time to impress with the latest desserts and appetizers but I beg to digress a little. Don't get me wrong I do love Valentines' Day whether I'm celebrating it with someone special or I'm alone, there is always that ka-magic that fills the early morning of February the 14th! Most people do no like beef liver so this is an easy way to make it more appealing since you get all those flavors infused into the liver. The secret to making the best beef liver is not to over cook or under cook it. If you under cook it, it becomes chewy and rubbery. If you overcook it it will become soggy and tasteless, so balance is key here.You can even fry it up with just cooking oil, add some garlic, salt and your favorite spice and you are good to go. I have come to love beef liver that I would not mind having it twice in a row. A simple dish that will have you licking your fingers and asking for more. Beef liver is not only delicious but filled with plenty of nutrients. Liver contains large amounts of high quality protein, a form of iron that is easily absorbed into the body, it has Vitamins which include Vitamin B, A and B12, there are significant amounts of folic acid and minerals like zinc, copper, phosphorous among others. As you can see you won't just be filling up with amazing food but getting the benefits that beef liver carries.... and that is our goal for 2018, eat more healthy food! Cheers to an amazing Valentines' Day Lovelies 💋🍷🍸🍹🍻
