Guatemalan Cuisine: Higado encebollado

We visit the daily menu again with today’s higado encebollado, liver with onions. It is so ironic that one can get home-made style healthier food for less through the discounted Menú del día, daily menu special, found at most diners and restaurants; don’t you agree. This Higado encebollado took me back to my grandmother’s cooking; what an incredible nostalgic culinary trip!

When was the last time you had higado encebollado?

Funny enough, I used to dislike that dish when I was a kid, but it’s been so long since I last had it that I actually wish I could have it now. It looks so good in that picture. I’m surprised there are no tortillas laying next to it.

Yes, I was force-fed liver as a kid too.

@Guy: I agree, “force-fed” is a more appropriate term. And it’s not as if I could just leave it there and walk away. It was either eat it, or get whooped and end up eating it anyways.

It looks yummy, but liver is one of the few foods I really do not like. But I would be willing to try this one. And my mother-in-law would love this! It’s one of her favorite foods.

Guy, Erick and Stephanie, it is good to know that I am not alone in this world; everywhere I turned people tell me how good liver is; My wife tried to sneak it on my lunch box when we first got married. I told her never to do that again. I tried it again as an adult and still did not like it. Rudy, thanx for bringing back those bad memories, j/k. The onions, guacamole and rice do look good though.

I would love to have a good recipe for Guatemalan chow mein again. Some 30 years ago we met a man that taught me how to make it and my family loved it. If someone could send it to me I would be so thankful and happy. I am close to 80 years young searching for it. Please and thank you. ☺️
