Some people I know they don't like the smell of the liver, and no matter how long do you cook, the smell of the liver will be there.

However, I am using bell pepper and bay leaf since it gives a great flavor of the sauteed chicken liver recipe. Furthermore, when you add the bell pepper, the smell of the liver will disappear, which works for me.

Lastly, I use olive oil, specifically extra virgin olive oil, to help sauteed the liver. I prefer this kind of oil since it is healthier and gives a nicer olive taste of the dish.

When I cook my chicken liver recipe, I usually wash them first before sauteing in the pan. This is important because you need to remove the smell of the liver and reduce the bitterness.

I clean the liver with water first. After that, I marinated them with lemon or lime juice. The lemon contain a citric acid that can help remove the smell of the liver or other meats. This is also perfect if you will like to remove fishy smell from your seafood.

What kind of Kitchen Utensil or Equipment I used?

There is only two important kitchen utensils I used. First, I used a melamine bowl where I cleaned and marinated the liver with sauces and spices. And secondly, I used a large fry pan where I cooking the liver and adding other solid ingredients.

When I cooked this recipe, I love eating my sauteed liver with white rice. Because this is an inspired Asian recipe, white rice can be a perfect side dish with this liver dish. Also, this dish is perfect to serve with Flatbread or any pita bread instead of rice. If you will like to know how to make flatbread, check my Greek Flatbread Recipe here.
