FAQ:
1. Why soak the liver in milk?
Soaking liver in milk helps reduce its strong, metallic taste, making it more palatable for those new to the dish.

2. Can I use a different type of liver?
Yes! Beef liver is bold and hearty, chicken liver is milder, and pork liver offers a balance in flavor. Adjust cooking times accordingly based on size and type.

3. How do I avoid overcooking the liver?
Cook the liver on medium-high heat for a short time. The inside should remain slightly pink, ensuring tenderness.

Absolutely. Use gluten-free flour or skip dredging the liver altogether for a naturally gluten-free meal.
