Liver cake in a diet version is a great light appetizer suitable for those watching their diet. The absence of mayonnaise makes it even healthier while maintaining a rich taste. Soft liver soufflé soaked in vegetable paste with sour cream makes the dish incredibly tender. This dish is quick to prepare and always impresses at any festive table. If you want to experiment, this recipe offers many opportunities for creativity: add fried mushrooms or potatoes, replace sour cream with Greek yogurt, or try a gluten-free version with rice flour.

Variations

- Instead of sour cream, you can use Greek yogurt for even more lightness

- Add fried mushrooms or potatoes to the filling for variation

- Use rice flour instead of wheat flour for a gluten-free version

Tenderness secrets

- Soak the liver in cold water before processing to remove bitterness

- Remove all membranes and bile ducts for a tender taste

- Do not make the cakes too thin - a thickness of 0.5 cm will give the desired consistency

Ingredient tips

- Low-fat milk will make the dish more dietary

- Dill and garlic can be replaced with coriander or oregano to taste

Culinary nuances

- Chill the cakes before mixing so the sauce doesn't melt

- Serve chilled or at room temperature depending on preference
