Traditional Newfoundland Chicken Liver, Onions and Brewis
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.
