Beef Liver and Onion Meatballs

Preheat the oven to bake at 350F.

Puree the liver. The easiest way to do this is to place the liver in a blender and pulse until smooth. Careful not to liquidize the liver as it will make the meatballs too loose. If you don’t own a blender you can always chop it with a sharp knife until fully mashed. You will want it as close to pureed as possible.

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine ground pork and beef liver.

Season with smoked paprika, rosemary, black pepper, and salt. Continue to mix with hands until meat is equally seasoned.

Mix in the diced onion and garlic.

Refrigerate for 10 minutes.

Place a frying pan on medium-high heat with tallow or butter.

Form meat mixture into mini-balls.

Fry the meatballs until golden brown.

Finish by cooking in the oven for 10 mins.

Serve with your favorite mashed potatoes, homemade gravy, and fresh thyme.

For Gravy:

Melt the butter in the pan and whisk in flour so it does not get clumpy. Cook for 1 minute.

Slowly add beef stock and pan drippings to the roux and whisk continuously for 5-7 minutes or until desired consistency. Salt and pepper to taste.
