Tip: Pork liver is stronger but more tender than lambs liver when cooked. Chicken livers are mildest and softest and best for pâtés.
Tip: Soaking the liver in milk helps remove excess blood and impurities and also softens the flavour (gets rid of that mineral/metallic tang). Water does the same but to a lesser degree so use water instead to save on milk.
