About this recipe

This quick and easy meal for two is ready in 30 minutes or less, and very tasty. Start by frying your fat pork in cubes until its got a light brown colour, then add your onions and let them fry for 5 to 10 minutes. Then add in your chicken liver to continue frying to bring your meal together. This was a meal that I’m sure was cooked by many of our parents and grandparents over the years, some would use beef liver and some pork liver or whatever was available in hard times.

Everyone owned hard bread because of its multi uses, fish & brewis, moose & brewis and fish cakes. Some would eat hard bread only with butter and salt and pepper. These are a few links to those meals if you like to have access to them.

When making these knobs of hard bread you much bake them for 60 minutes or longer on 400º of heat, they need to come out a golden brown or darker and hard as a rock. 🙂 Thank you so much for visiting my website today, please leave me a message before you go letting me know what you think about these recipes.
