SWEET AND SOUR LIVER

Steps:

• Beat the egg with a pinch of salt. Lightly flour the slices of liver, shake off the excess, and dip them first into the beaten egg and then into the breadcrumbs.
• In a large heavy skillet, over a medium high heat, melt the butter and quickly sear the liver until brown on both sides. Turn the liver only once to avoid overcooking. Remove the liver to a platter and cover with loosely tented foil to keep warm.
• To the same skillet, over a low heat, add the shallots and cook 3 to 4 minutes. Add the lime juice and sugar, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Add the lime segments. Pour this mixture over the liver and garnish with slices of hard cooked egg.

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!
