To prepare the filling, liver of a cow, pig, or bird will do. It is important that the product is fresh. If it has a suspiciously pale appearance or an unpleasant smell, you should not use it for a pancake filling.

Experienced housewives are aware that fresh and chilled foods usually come out more succulent than frozen ones. But the difference becomes noticeable only when the defrosting was performed incorrectly. If the liver is allowed to thaw in the refrigerator or at room temperature, it will remain almost as juicy as it was not subjected to freezing.

Pork liver is cooked a little longer: a whole 50 minutes, 30 minutes - sliced. The fastest prepared chicken liver: 10-15 minutes. It takes 10 minutes more time to prepare the liver in a slow cooker than in a saucepan.
The liver for the filling is often boiled, then passed through a meat grinder with the addition of roasted vegetables, but it can also be fried and stewed together with vegetables, and then chopped. It is important to bring the product to readiness completely, since the pancakes with liver filling do not roast for a long time.
