If you cook with mayonnaise, then only with homemade mayonnaise. A portioned serving salad will prevent you from eating too much.

RECIPE FOR RICE SALAD WITH LIVER

What do you need:
(for 5-6 servings)

1 tbsp. steamed rice
500 g beef liver (for more delicate taste beef liver can be replaced with veal or chicken liver)
4 boiled eggs
200 g hard cheese
200 g canned corn
flour - for breading
vegetable oil - for frying

Homemade mayonnaise:
3 yolks
150 ml vegetable oil
30 ml lemon juice (1/4 lemon)
1 tsp Russian mustard
1 tsp Sahara
a pinch of salt

How to cook rice salad with liver:

1. There are several secrets in cooking liver that will help make it soft and juicy.

Always choose fresh liver, not frozen.
Pour boiling water over the liver and immediately immerse it in cold water. Remove the outer film with a knife and soak in milk for 1 hour. Cut the liver into pieces 1 cm thick, do not add salt, roll in flour.

Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan, add pieces of liver, fry for about 30 seconds and turn over. Then fry the liver again for about 1.5–2 minutes on each side.

It is important that the oil is hot. In this case, a crust immediately forms on the liver, which retains all the juice inside. Cook the liver over medium heat until the juice becomes clear when pierced.

Ready liver place on a paper towel and blot with a napkin to absorb excess oil.

Grate the cooled liver onto fine grater.

At the same time as preparing the liver, boil the rice until tender and rinse in cold water.

Drain liquid from corn.

Divide the eggs into white and yolk, grate separately on a fine grater.

Grate the cheese on a fine grater.

For mayonnaise, place the yolks in a bowl, add salt, sugar and mustard. Whisk vigorously for 1 minute.

Add lemon juice to the beaten yolks and beat lightly.

Continuing to beat the egg-lemon mixture, add vegetable oil in a thin stream and beat the mixture to the consistency you need.

In traditional homemade mayonnaise lemon juice is usually added at the end of cooking, and this mayonnaise results in a thicker, smoother texture. If you first introduce the juice, the mayonnaise turns out fluffy and airy. It is especially good to keep this sauce in the cold for at least 1-2 hours.

Layer the salad: beef liver, rice, corn, cheese, egg white and yolk. Lightly coat the liver, rice and cheese with mayonnaise.

Leave in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours and garnish with herbs before serving.
