Yeast Free Baked Liver and Onions – Candida Diet Recipe

I realize many people may skip right by this post but I felt that I had an obligation to post it.  I absolutely love liver but I do acknowledge that there are many people out there that hardly feel the same way.  My household is pretty much split down the middle on the liver issue.  I do not buy liver much but occasionally I will notice it in the supermarket and feel compelled to buy some and cook it.  By the way liver is candida diet approved. 

My mom used to make really good liver and onions but she fried it in Crisco and would always serve her liver with white rice of course.  I wanted to see if I could create a yeast free version of my mom’s liver.  My candida diet substitutions  included serving the liver with brown rice instead of white and using gluten free flour to coat the liver and to make the gravy.  Additionally, I used olive oil instead of Crisco.  In the end I realized that I did not have to do much to make this a candida diet friendly meal.  It was pretty tasty and very easy to prepare.  The anti-liver folks in the house still did not eat it but the pro-liver folks really enjoyed it.  While this is not a meal likely to make it to our weekly candida diet menu mostly because I hate preparing more than one dinner, I am glad to have a recipe for a candida diet version of a meal that I adore.
