LIVER AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Combine the flour, pepper and salt, mix well.
• Coat the liver thoroughly in the flour mixture.

OLD-FASHIONED LIVER AND ONIONS RECIPE

Steps:

• Slice the onions to no more than a quarter-inch thick.
• Heat two tablespoons of the butter and one tablespoon of the olive oil in a large sauté pan at medium-high heat.
• Once the butter is melted, add the onions, one teaspoon of the salt, and one-half a teaspoon of the pepper, and sauté until the onions have caramelized to a light brown color (around 8 minutes).
• Combine the flour, the rest of the salt, the rest of the pepper, and the dried sage in a bowl big enough to accommodate your liver slices.
• Dip both sides of each slice of liver into the seasoned flour, thoroughly coating each piece.
• Heat one tablespoon of the butter and another tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
• When the butter has melted and the oil is shimmering, add two slices of the liver and sauté for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. Set aside and repeat with the other two slices of liver.
• With the pan still hot and the flame still set to medium-high, add the chicken stock or broth, the lemon juice, and the parsley to the pan, and stir to combine.
• Add the caramelized onions, and stir everything together to deglaze the pan.
• Divide onto four plates, and serve each with a lemon wedge, balsamic vinegar (if using) and a sprig of parsley.

ABSOLUTE BEST LIVER AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Gently rinse liver slices under cold water, and place in a medium bowl. Pour in enough milk to cover. Let stand while preparing onions. (I like to soak up to an hour or two - whatever you have time for.) This step is SO important in taking the bitter taste of the liver out.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Separate onion rings, and saute them in butter until soft. Remove onions, and melt remaining butter in the skillet. Season the flour with salt and pepper, and put it in a shallow dish or on a plate. Drain milk from liver, and coat slices in the flour mixture.
• When the butter has melted, turn the heat up to medium-high, and place the coated liver slices in the pan. Cook until nice and brown on the bottom. Turn, and cook on the other side until browned. Add onions, and reduce heat to medium. Cook a bit longer to taste. Our family prefers the liver to just barely retain a pinkness on the inside when you cut to check. Enjoy!
