Liver in cheese sauce

Liver in cheese sauce is a refined dish of Italian cuisine that combines the tenderness of liver with a rich cheese aroma. It is believed that the combination of liver dishes with dairy products comes from Mediterranean culinary traditions, where melted cheese is used to add softness to texture and depth to flavor. In this recipe, liver sautéed with onions acquires an appetizing crust and is then simmered in a rich cheese sauce with yogurt, garlic, and dill. Thanks to the yogurt, the dish turns out slightly creamy yet fresh and balanced. It pairs wonderfully as a main hot dish alongside mashed potatoes or pasta. This recipe is a perfect example of how simple ingredients can transform into true gastronomic delight.
