Instructions

  1. 1Place the goose liver in salt water for 1 hour. This helps to remove impurities and tenderize the liver. After an hour, remove the liver from the salt water and pat it dry with paper towels.
  2. 2Season the goose liver with salt and pepper. Dredge the liver with flour, ensuring it's evenly coated.
  3. 3Heat goose fat (or butter) in a pan over medium-high heat. Fry the floured goose liver until it is golden brown on both sides. Remove the liver from the pan and set aside.
  4. 4In the same pan, sauté the chopped onion, cloves, finely sliced celery, whole peppercorns, and bay leaf for a few minutes until softened. Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown. Cover the pan and let the mixture stew for a few minutes.
  5. 5Add lemon juice to the mushroom sauce. Return the fried goose liver to the pan and heat through. Serve immediately.
