What we ARE NOT eating, Wednesday - Italian Baked Liver in Olive Sauce


Italian Baked Liver with Mushroom-Olive Sauce
not cooked from:  The Sunset Casserole Book
serves 6-8

the intro:  This method of preparing liver is unusual in that you don't brown it; just pour the sauce over it and bake.

I used this book last week also, mmmm mmmm good!

2 pounds beef liver, sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced or mashed
1 T flour
1/2 c catsup
1 t minced parsley
1/2 c chopped celery
1/2 c chopped green pepper
1 can (4oz) mushrooms, stems and pieces
1 small can (4oz) pitted ripe olives
2 T olive oil or salad oil
1 can (8oz) tomato sauce
1 c water
1 t salt
1/2 t pepper

Place liver slices in a greased baking pan or dish (about 9X13 inch size). Combine all remaining ingredients, stir until well blended, and pour over liver. Bake uncovered in a moderate oven (350 degrees) for 30 - 40 minutes or until tender.

For other, what we are not eating offerings, take a look at Beverly's Back Porch. Thanks so much for joining in the fun.  Anyone else?

And now for a few links of what I have found out in blogland and would love to make and eat! Lets wander shall we?

I spotted this meatloaf recipe and knew this was going to see a spot on our table, different and a wonderful presentation.

Honey loves an old fashion casserole pie, just like this one.

Do you have wee ones to make snacks for, these are a great idea and your little ones will love them.

I need to confess right now, the rest of the wandering list is desserts. I am not sorry, but thought I should warn you, so you would keep reading!

This fun recipe has been made with various "crunch" ingredients, but this one caught my eye. I love pretzels.

You're killing, you know that right? Liver and olives have to be my least favorite foods. Going to look into the yummy desserts though.

girlichef said...

Oh my gosh, I definitely will not be eating that, either. Ick. I like liver and onions, but that method...just not appetizing to me. ha! Thanks for featuring my gnocchi, though =)

Annie Jones said...

I do like liver, and I like olives, but this recipe has too many strong flavors all in one place. No surprise that I'd taste it, but I wouldn't make it.

I love olives, but there is nothing that can make me eat liver now I am a grown up :) Thank you for the great line up of featured recipes - I have come across some of them in my travels round the blogosphere, but not all - so I'm off to go visiting the ones I missed. Thank you for the tips :)

Brenda said...

That's a pretty popular cookbook for things we DON'T want to eat, lol! Again, Joe likes liver, so.......he might actually eat it!

Pegasuslegend said...

thanks for reminding how much I love liver and havent had it since mom passed not sure I would be eating it that style she did it fried with garlic and I love olives so who knows! I have never cooked it myself....thanks for including my zucchini squares, after making that recipe I will never make loaves again! So easy and actually moist and easier to serve~! Thanks again!

Donnie said...

Now that one has a real yuck factor to me..lol...

Karen @ Abundance on a Dime said...

Now that recipe is just a waste of perfectly good olives, lol. Thanks for making me smile in the middle of this blizzard we're having here in Southern Ontario :) and for linking up to my brownie recipe!

Beverly@Beverly's Back Porch said...

I love liver and I do think if you brown it a little first, it would be great.

Katie @ This Chick Cooks said...

Thanks for the great list! I want to make that gnocchi!

Pattie @ Olla-Podrida said...

Count me in as someone who would rather gnaw the tread off of my own tires before eating liver.

Thanks for including a link to my blog post on meatloaf. I hope you do try it, it is delicious.

Sage Trifle said...

Ugh, that recipe makes my stomach hurt. I'm happy to see someone else joined in on the fun--I'll have to get back on the stick. And as always, my friend, thanks for the blog love. You are a super blogger!

I won't eat that either! Does not sound nice at all! OK, now hopping over to Beverly's Back Porch to see what's not to be eaten!
The wander list sounds fabulous! Will visit them soon!
