Pig Liver
1 Tb wine vinegar
3 Tb white wine
1 bay leaf
salt & pepper
400g (14 oz) pig's liver, thinly sliced 90g (3 oz) spleen, well scraped,
using only the pulp
(I omit this, adding a 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tsp water at the end)
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 oz lard (or a little butter or olive oil)
boiled potatoes (3-4 small red potatoes per person)
Marinate the liver 4-5 hours. In a large frying pan melt the lard & cook
the liver with a little marinade.
Simmer on both sides over low heat until the liver darkens, but not longer than
10 minutes, as it tends to harden. Remove from the pan, set aside & keep
warm.
Mix the spleen pulp in the juices left in the pan & add the strained
marinade.
Cook gently 10 minutes to thicken. (Instead, I add the marinade to pan &
deglaze,
boiling briskly for 10 mins,then add cornstarch mixture for a few minutes to
thicken.)
Return the liver to the sauce & reheat gently 2-3 mins. Taste for
seasoning & serve with hot boiled potatoes.
Most of the energy we use comes from fossil fuels, such as coal, natural gas
and petroleum. Uranium is another nonrenewable source, but it is not a fossil
fuel. Uranium is converted to a fuel and used in nuclear power plants. Once
these natural resources are used up, they are gone forever.
The process of gathering these fuels can be harmful to the biomes from which
they come. Fossil fuels are put through a process called combustion in order to
produce energy. Combustion releases pollution, such as carbon monoxide and
sulfur dioxide, which may contribute to acid rain and global warming.
