Guest guest Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 If you chop it up and mix it in meatloaf--you'll never know you're eating it! Terry Iron Other than liver and spinach, what else has good iron in stage 1 ofthe diet? I've been keeping track of what I eat at fitday.com, and itsays I'm getting a minuscule amount of iron from my foods. I've alwayshad a lot of problems with anemia, and worry it might get worse.As far as the liver goes, how do you guys cook it? Is there a way tomake it...gasp...tasty, or do you just kind of have to hold your noseand swallow?HollyCrohn'sSCD 12/01/08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Hi Holly, I cook some onion, a portobello mushroom and a tomato in butter on a skillet, in the last couple of minutes I add a bit more butter & quickly fry the liver slices, probably about 40 seconds per side. The trick is to cook it rare & serve it with something tasty that you like. I've been eating it this way once a week but think I need to up the ante to twice a week. I can't say that liver thrills me , however if you have it with something tasty it's not too bad & I have become "accustomed" to the taste. I was going to try steak tartare to up the iron but to make the krivelshire sauce that goes in it (Marilyn has the recipe- scd version of worcestershire) is a bit beyond my current budget. I also believe that cooking on cast iron & squeezing on some lemon juice at the last minute helps with the iron uptake as well. Oh, I also like to sprinkle my liver with some fine ground celtic sea salt to aid palatability. All the best.

Bit beyond mine, too -- so I use the spices that are listed and add a small amount. It's not quite the same as real Krivelshire, but it works! — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Good idea! I haven't tried making SCD meatloaf yet, but I need to try sometime. > > If you chop it up and mix it in meatloaf--you'll never know you're eating it! > Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Another good idea! I finally found some chicken livers, so it's time to give eating them a shot. I don't have any cast iron cookware though. Another thing to add to my wish list. > > Hi Holly, > > I cook some onion, a portobello mushroom and a tomato in butter on a skillet, in the last couple of minutes I add a bit more butter & quickly fry the liver slices, probably about 40 seconds per side.
