This is another one of my Mom’s Recipes that we had when I was growing up. Of course as a Child I thought Liver and Onions was like “ewe” but I am happy to admit I was wrong. It really is delicious! Enjoy!

1lb Beef Liver
1 Large Onion
2 tsp chopped Garlic
1 cup Flour(season to taste)
2 tbs Oil
1 1/2 cups Water or Beef Stock

Cooked Rice

Heat oil in a stock pot. Wash liver then coat with Seasoned Flour and brown on each side. Remove Liver from oil and add onions. Saute onions for 3 or 4 minutes. Drain excess oil then add garlic. Sprinkle with about 1 tbs of seasoned flour and stir mixture well. Add water or beef stock then return Liver to pot. Cook on Medium heat for approximately 30 to 40 minutes or until liver is cooked. Serve over cooked rice.

I simply love Shrimp! Living here along the Gulf of Mexico Shrimp is just as common on our table as Chicken and Beef or that bottle of ketchup. This Recipe was my Mom’s. She was always a whiz in the kitchen especially where Cajun Cuisine was concerned and I loved learning to cook and listening to stories about our Cajun heritage. So this dish just says home to me. No matter where life takes me I will always consider it a “Home Cooked Meal”. Just follow the link below for the Recipe and Enjoy!!

Shrimp Etoufee

Eggs and Rice are a great combination. Together they make a quick supper that is very satisfying. This dish is a perfect way to use up left over rice.

1/2 Yellow or White Onion (chopped)
2 Stalks Green Onion (chopped)
1 or 2 Garlic Cloves (minced)
2 Tbs EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
1 Tbs Unsalted Butter
2 Cups Cooked Rice
4 Eggs
Salt and Pepper to Taste
Fresh minced Parsley

Saute Onions in EVOO and butter until limp. Add Garlic, Green Onion and Rice. Mix well and heat for another 2 minutes. Add eggs and seasonings. Cook until eggs are cooked but not too dry. Garnish with fresh Parsley and enjoy!

This is a great - set it and forget it - Recipe for the Slow Cooker.
