Fried Chicken Liver with Onions
February 16th, 2013 in Chicken, Main Dishes by Julia Volhina
Dusting chicken liver with flour and frying it with onions is perhaps easiest way to cook it.
Step of soaking live in milk can be skipped; it is optional, but it helps to reduce bitter taste liver may have.
The best side dish for this one, to my opinion, is plain boiled potato or potato puree.

If you saw frozen snow crab legs in store and wanted to try them, but wasn’t sure how to cook them – this recipe is for you.

Turkey Breast Roast with Garlic, Paprika and Black Pepper
January 12th, 2013 in Main Dishes, Turkey by Julia Volhina
I think this is last recipe using turkey meat for me for a while. I got a little carried away with it around Thanksgiving.
It is quite easy, but takes about 4.5 hours of time: first to soak turkey breast in salted water, and then to cook it in cooling down oven. So make sure you leave yourself enough of time.
This turkey breast roast tastes perfect served warm with a side dish or cooled down in salad or on sandwich.
