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!

HOW TO COOK LIVER AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Discard the liver membranes if they haven't already been removed. Use your fingers to peel the thin, outer membrane off each liver. The membranes will come away easily. Try not to tear the liver as you remove the membranes. Liver is usually sold with the membranes already removed.
• Slice the livers into 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm) thick slices. Place 1 1/2 lb (680 g) of beef or chicken livers on a chopping board. Use a very sharp knife to slice the livers into strips. Be very careful when you use a knife to cut the liver thinly. Always make sure that you are using a sharp knife, as this is both safest and will make the best cuts.
• Cut 2 onions into thin 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm) slices. Place the onions on a chopping board and use a sharp knife to cut the ends off. Slice each onion in half and peel the skin off. Place the flat surface of each onion on the chopping board and carefully slice each half thinly.
• Combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Pour ½ cup (64 g) of flour, 1 tsp (2.3 g) of freshly ground black pepper, and ½ tsp (2.5 g) of salt into a bowl. Use a fork or whisk to mix the ingredients thoroughly. Season the flour with more or less black pepper and salt depending on what you prefer.
• Dredge the liver slices in the flour. Place each slice of liver into the bowl with the flour, black pepper, and salt. Turn each slice over in the bowl to make sure that all of the sides are coated with the seasoned flour. Gently shake each slice of liver as you take it out from the bowl to remove the excess. A light flour coating is all that is necessary.
