4 slices of lean bacon
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
2 large onions, sliced thin

SAGE & THYME CALVES' LIVER WITH WILD MUSHROOMS & PANCETTA



Sage & thyme calves' liver with wild mushrooms & pancetta image

Think you don't like liver? This tasty, pan-fried version with herbs, mushrooms and bacon on toast may convert you

Provided by James Martin

Categories     Lunch, Main course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 slices pancetta (or streaky bacon)
1 tbsp vegetable oil
500g calves' liver , sliced into 4 steaks
50g butter
small bunch sage , leaves picked, most roughly chopped
½ small bunch thyme , leaves picked
4 shallots , finely sliced
300g mixed wild or chestnut mushroom , cleaned
zest and juice ½ lemon
4 thick slices of rustic bread , toasted (preferably sourdough)

Steps:

  • Put the pancetta in a large frying pan and cook until crisp, then lift out with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Heat the oil in the pan. Sear the liver steaks for 1-2 mins each side - so they're just still pink in the middle - using half the butter towards the end to baste the meat. Remove the liver to a plate using the slotted spoon and leave to rest, covered with foil, for 10-15 mins.
  • Add the chopped sage, thyme leaves, shallots, mushrooms and lemon zest to the pan. Fry on the highest heat for a few mins, then add the lemon juice and some seasoning. Cook for 3-5 mins until slightly saucy and the mushrooms are soft.
  • Heat the remaining butter in your smallest saucepan until just foaming. Add the remaining whole sage leaves and fry for a few mins until crisp. Drain on kitchen paper with the pancetta. Sit the liver on toast, spoon over the mushroom mixture and scatter over the pancetta and crisp sage. Serve immediately.

CALF LIVER AND ONIONS WITH BACON



Calf Liver and Onions With Bacon image

Two or three spashes of red wine vinegar give a fresh kick to this old standby. Cooking with bacon also "lightens" the liver taste. When my children were small, I called this "Cowboy Steak." It was inspiration born of desperation. They ate it with enthusiasm.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 slices cooked bacon, torn in bite sized pieces
2 sliced onions (I use a little more)
1 lb calf liver
1/2 cup flour (more if needed for dredging meat)
salt and pepper
2 -3 dashes red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in large skillet. Set cooked bacon aside, leaving as much grease as possible in skillet.
  • Tear bacon in bite sized pieces.
  • Cook sliced onions in grease, with a little salt and pepper, for about 15 minutes, or until limp.
  • Remove onions, set aside, leaving as much grease as possible in skillet.
  • Lightly salt and pepper liver slices (I cut long slices in half) and dredge heavily in flour.
  • Place liver in hot grease, cooking until brown on both sides, over medium heat.
  • When liver is browned, add onions, bacon pieces, and 2-3 splashes red wine vinegar.
  • Salt and pepper to taste (remember, you have already used some, so go easy until you can taste it).
  • Add enough water to make a gravy, barely covering the meat. Stir water to combine with other ingredients evenly.
  • Cover, cook on low for 15-20 minutes. It should look like you have gravy.
