Measured strictly by weight (g).
Instead of Liver
Liver has an unmistakable iron-rich flavour and tender, powdery texture that cannot be truly replicated.
ChickenUse equal weight of trimmed chicken livers; pan-fry gently for 4-6 minutes; flavour is substantially milder and sweeter.
LambUse equal weight of lamb kidney cut into small bite-sized pieces; gives a similarly distinct iron-rich flavour with slightly firmer bite.
Vegetarian swaps
MushroomsUse equal weight of brown or portobello mushrooms, cut thick; sauté over high heat for 6-8 minutes; provides deep umami without mineral iron notes.
PaneerUse equal weight cubed small; fry quickly for 3 minutes; provides dense bite, though it lacks the offal richness completely.
