After which the milk or water is drained, and the remaining moisture is removed using a colander. To chops turned out smooth and beautiful, slightly freeze the liver.
Next, we get the pork liver from the freezer, remove the film and veinlets from it, cut it into even slices. Now we need food film. We wrap each slice into it and beat off with a special kitchen hammer on both sides. Note: food film does not regret. We wrap the pieces with a margin so that they are distributed evenly and become thin.
After that, the film from the product must be removed.
