This is nothing more than the liver oil of cod (primarily) and other fish.

However, the purpose of this article is not to fully describe the benefits of cod liver.
And unfortunately, the urgent question for many, “ where to buy fresh cod liver”We will not give an answer. Ideally, send your husbands fishing in the North Seas for cod, then you will get a truly dietary delicacy, useful for both adults and children. You may be able to get it frozen, the recipe is also suitable for defrosted product.

So, how to cook fresh cod liver at home.
When gutting cod, carefully cut out the liver, being careful not to damage its thin shell. Cut off the gallbladder carefully so that the bitterness does not get onto the liver.

Rinse in a colander under cold running water.

Prepare:
- a glass jar, the size of which is selected based on the amount of fresh cod liver available. When folded in a jar, it should not take up the entire volume to the very edges, so that there is at least a little room for the fat, which will begin to melt. It is better to take a jar with a screw cap.
- a pot for a water bath. It should be of such a size that the selected jar is covered with water up to its shoulders and stands free. If the width of the pan is close to the size of the can, then the total volume of water will turn out to be small, it will boil away and the water level will drop faster.

Put 3-4 bay leaves on the bottom of the jar, you can add a little black pepper. Fold in any available fresh cod liver and salt (lightly).
Cover with a lid, but do not tighten.


Put the jar in a saucepan, pour water up to the hangers.
Place on the stove, bring to a boil and simmer in a water bath.

Depending on the volume of the can, cooking time from the moment of boiling is:
0.5 liter can - approximately one hour,
liter jar - about two hours.
Focus on the time indicated in the recipe, but also control the process visually. As the cod liver in a glass jar is covered with fat by about a quarter, so you're done. If your pieces are small (the cod was small in size), then it is better to slightly reduce the time indicated in the recipe for cooking fresh cod liver at home.
As the practice of the author of the article has shown, if you overexpose, then the finished cod liver will fall apart, it will not be so tasty (three hours of cooking for liter cans turned out to be a lot).


After the cooking time has elapsed, remove the jar from the water and allow to cool at room temperature. Store in a cool place. Since the entire mass is covered with melted cod liver fat, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a month, but usually it does not manage to stand that much - everything is eaten!

A recipes Cooking dishes with cod liver are many! The easiest - cod liver sandwiches as it is smeared like butter. Spread on black bread, garnish with fresh herbs, and, in fact, everything will already be very tasty.
If guests come, then you can complicate our sandwiches a little: fill with cod liver tartlets and also garnish with herbs, lemon or a slice of cucumber.
