Liver Sauce Recipe -Nigeria-Cameroon

I have had people inbox me a couple of times asking how to cook beef liver to taste really good. Today is the day I share with you the fool-proof simple recipe I have shared with them. It works every. single. time.

If you ever for a second thought liver was a boring negligible part of the cow, I am inviting you to think again. This part of the “moo-body” is delicious and more nutrient-filled than you can imagine.

Beef liver is rich in protein, essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals. It is incredibly more nutritious than red meat. If you haven’t been a liver person, it is time to jump onto the beef liver train. This epic sauce is worth it. So worth it, my friend.

Liver can be fried, baked or made into a spread. But here are the two ways I enjoy it:

  1. In Fried Rice
  2. In this epic sauce.

All you need to do is make a blend with fresh spices and some tomatoes. Cook all that flavourful blend together with the liver and drizzle on some vegetable oil on top. Introduce this sauce to your boiled rice, plantains or yams. Ahh! The sauce is a beautiful romance of sweet and zesty. The sweetness of the tomatoes plus the fragrance of the ginger, garlic and white pepper coupled with the herbiness of the celery and parsley… plus the natural flavour of the liver itself…

Selah (pause and think).


Talking about “selah”, my love for the Bible makes it’s way into my recipes all the time. You can’t blame me, that book is one unbeatable epic read.

If you are not all for vegetable oil swimming freely over your sauce, feel free to put as little as you want. One very awesome thing about this recipe is that you can use for chicken gizzards too. Fantastica! Is that even an English word?

I’m itchy to hear how this turns out for you. So print out that recipe, go have a liver party and come back here to let me know how it was.

  5. Sooooo I made this delicious tomato sauce with liver and it was delicious. Usually I’d cook the liver apart but your method is much more easier and the liver is really juicy as it absorbs the spices during cooking. I added a bit of curry powder as I love it in my tomato sauce. I had it with ripe plantains and I only stopped when my stomach couldn’t take any more.
    Thanks for inspiring me and reminding me all the time how delicious Cameroonian food is ๐Ÿ™‚
    Keep up the good work

    PS: I wish there was the possibility to upload pictures of our own dishes made from your recipies
