Liver
Liver of Tope is soft and rich—sear or confit, never overcook to chalk. Use as garnish or pâté base. As a liver section of offal, portion for even cooking and clear labelling. Keep tope liver iced until cooking; pat dry for browning, and stop when just opaque. Frying, grilling, and curries suit the cut. Season with salt, acid, and fat that frame dense mild white flesh.
