Let’s face it, we all know we should be eating liver, but sometimes the thought of eating it, or cooking it is daunting. Liver is natures BEST superfood, and one of the most nutritious foods available. It is high in bioavailable iron, B vitamins, vitamin A and so much more.
Trust me, these meatballs do not taste like liver! However if you really don’t want to notice it, try blending all the ingredients in a food processor at step 2.

Can a 7mth old eat these?
Hey love, they could have the meatballs but I wouldn’t introduce the pasta until atleast 8 months. Just make sure the meatballs are cut into a safe shape and size!
Great recipe! Thank you so much – made the pasta sauce you linked to as well, perfection. Appreciate it!

Made it with the veggie sauce too! So yum once I got over the fact it had liver in it… thanks for sharing!
yay thanks for letting me know!
Hi Luka,
I haven’t been able to source any fresh liver, can I use liver capsules for this recipe? And if yes, how much would you suggest? Thanks lovely
Yes you could 🙂 generally you would aim for 1/4 of an adult serve of the liver capsules, so if you think your baby would only eat 1 kofta a day you could add 1/4 capsule to each one!
so great, i think my husband fell more in love with me after making them.
Hey! thanks for the amazing recipe. I was just wondering, for my meal prep, is it better to freeze them before or after I bake them?
I like to freeze before cooking so that you can cook fresh and they stay nice and ‘moist’ when offering, but its fine to freeze cooked as well!

Hello, what would you suggest in place of the egg, our bub is anaphylactic. Thanks!
You can use flax seed as an egg replacement. Just look online for "flax egg"
Hi there,
Very keen to try these but can only get organic beef liver and not organic chicken liver. Is this okay as an alternative?
Thank you 🙂
Yes that is absolutely fine 🙂 It just has a slightly stronger taste
I recently got the boob to food le purée bundle and was hoping to use the liver pate in these. Would this work, how many of the liver pate squares could I add to this recipe?
