Liver and Leeks

I've always been a big fan of liver. This is the first time I've ever cooked with pork liver. I must say that I like it a lot more than beef. I didn't expect it to be so mild in flavor. It is also only $1.99lb at my local asian market. This is a great dish to introduce liver to someone who is "liver curious." If you prefer to use beef or chicken livers, please do so.
