LIVER WITH GARLIC, SAGE, AND WHITE WINE

Steps:

• Put half the oil and butter in a large skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium-high heat. When the butter has melted, dredge each of the pieces of liver in the flour, shaking to remove the excess, and add them to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and brown quickly on both sides, for a total of 4 or 5 minutes; the meat should be rare when you're done. Transfer to a warm plate and turn the heat to medium.
• Add the remaining oil and butter to the skillet along with the garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic begins to color, a minute or two. Add the wine and the sage and cook, stirring, until all the elements are incorporated and the wine has been reduced by half. Add the lemon juice, then taste and adjust the seasoning. Pour the sauce over the meat, garnish, and serve.

• Peel any membrane from the liver and trim out any tough ventricles.
• Using a sharp knife, finely slice the liver about 1/2in thick, or even thinner if you prefer.

• Heat the oil in a large, heavy frying pan over a high heat and, when very hot, add the liver slices.
• Cook for a minute or two on each side, depending on the thickness and how you like your liver.
• Transfer to four warmed plates and serve with creamy mash potato.
