Iscas com Elas
If you’re a carnivore who thrives on dishes brimming with meaty goodness and unique animal cuts, iscas com elas is perfect. If you’re not a big meat eater, the thought of eating marinated liver and onions isn’t appealing. However, we still recommend trying this hearty marinated liver dish.
To make iscas com elas, the calf’s liver is cut into thin slices and marinated overnight in beer or wine, garlic, bay leaves, pepper, and citrus. The following day, the liver is fried in a pan with onions before being served on a bed of French fries. Admittedly, the liver doesn’t look tasty but has a slightly sweet and rich earthy flavor. This dish is prevalent in Lisbon.
