LIVER AND ONIONS

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!

LIVER AND ONIONS CAFETERIA STYLE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425 (375 if convection oven).
• Cover a large baking sheet with foil. Spread the cooking oil to cover the bottom of pan.
• Sprinkle the liver with salt and pepper. Mix the paprika into the flour. Dredge the liver slices thoroughly in the flour mixture. Layer the flour-coated slices on the baking sheet, being careful not to overlap the slices. Drizzle some oil over the tops of the liver until no flour is showing. You may have to gently press down with your fingers to make sure the oil and flour is incorporated.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, being careful not to overcook. Lightly salt the liver when removed from oven.
• In a large skillet, melt the half stick of butter. Slice the onions in 1/2 inch slices and cook over medium heat until soft almost caramelized.
• Serve the liver, covering with a generous helping of onions. Enjoy!

SAUTEED CALF'S LIVER

Steps:

• Place liver in a nonreactive (ceramic or glass) bowl and pour milk over. Refrigerate, covered, 5 to 6 hours.
• In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. When butter is shimmering, add onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring more frequently until onions are very soft and brown, 30 to 40 minutes more.
• Drain liver and discard milk. Pat liver dry with paper towels.
• Spread flour on a plate and season with salt and pepper. Thoroughly coat liver with the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
• Heat a large (13-inch) saute pan over medium heat and add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the oil and heat until shimmering. Cook (in batches, if necessary, to avoid crowding pan) until liver is firm (but not hard) and browned on the outside but still slightly pink in the center, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining liver, adding more oil to the pan as necessary. Add sage and cook for 1 minute more.
• Divide liver among plates and top with onions.
