Pork liver is very heavy and warming for the body. To balance its energy, cook it gently with cooling spices like fennel and a bit of coriander, and avoid eating it late in the evening.
My physician advised that pork liver must be cooked extremely thoroughly to an internal temperature of 71°C to avoid any risk of hepatitis E or parasites. Slicing it thinly and sautéing it completely is the safest method.
A simple way is to stir-fry it with ginger, garlic, and onions on a medium flame. It is very nutritious and keeps the preparation straightforward and comforting.
Pork liver is extremely nutrient-dense, but it is high in cholesterol. I keep the cooking light with just a quick pan-sear, and I make sure to do a good 45-minute brisk walk afterwards to keep my active metabolism going.
I have to be careful with my blood pressure, so I cook pork liver with almost zero salt and plenty of garlic and vinegar. Make sure to get your cardiovascular and BP checkups done regularly if you enjoy organ meats.
Honestly, just cut it into small bits and fry it with ginger-garlic paste and black pepper. Don't overcook it or it turns into rubbery chalk. Keep it simple and quick.
