Categories     Main course

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

450g/1lb lambs' liver, sliced and fully thawed if frozen
25g/1oz butter
2 tbsp sunflower oil
4 tbsp plain flour
1 onion, halved lengthways and sliced
125g/4½oz rindless streaky bacon rashers, each cut into 4-5 pieces
1 beef stock cube
500ml/18fl oz just-boiled water
1-2 tsp tomato ketchup
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Rinse the liver in a colander under cold water and drain well on kitchen paper. Melt half of the butter with the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a high heat.
  • Put three tablespoons of the flour in a large bowl and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Coat half the liver in the seasoned flour, shake off any excess, then fry each slice in the hot fat for 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly browned, but not completely cooked through.
  • Transfer the slices to a plate and repeat with the remaining liver.
  • Reduce the heat and melt the remaining butter in the same pan. Add the sliced onion and cook for a minute or so, stirring to separate the layers.
  • Add the bacon to the pan and cook, stirring from time to time, for 8-10 minutes or until the onion is pale golden-brown and the bacon is beginning to crisp.
  • Sprinkle the rest of the flour over the onion and bacon and stir it for a minute or so.
  • Dissolve the stock cube in the just-boiled water and pour slowly into the pan, stirring constantly.
  • Bring to a simmer and cook over a medium heat until the gravy is thickened. Add a dash of tomato ketchup and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Return the liver to the pan with the onion gravy for just 1-2 minutes to warm it through and finish cooking.
  • Serve the liver and bacon with some mash and freshly cooked greens.

CALF'S LIVER WITH BACON AND ONIONS



Calf's Liver with Bacon and Onions image

The mashed sweet potatoes with sage butter are a great side dish for calf's liver. We recommend asking the butcher for the freshest calf's liver available, since it can vary in quality. Soaking the liver in milk, a method typically used for pork liver, helps soften and mellow its flavor.

Categories     Beef     Onion     Pork     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Fall

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb calf's liver (1/2 inch thick), cut into 4 pieces
1 cup whole milk
8 bacon slices, halved crosswise
3 medium onions, halved lengthwise, then cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Soak liver in milk in a bowl 20 minutes.
  • While liver is soaking, cook bacon in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, turning over occasionally, until crisp. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain and reserve 2 1/2 tablespoons fat in skillet, transferring remaining fat to a small bowl.
  • Cook onions with salt and pepper to taste in fat in skillet over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer onions to a bowl and add bacon. Keep warm, covered.
  • Pat liver dry and discard milk. Stir together flour, salt, and pepper on a sheet of wax paper and dredge liver in flour mixture, shaking off excess.
  • Add 1 1/2 tablespoons reserved bacon fat to skillet and heat over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté liver, turning over once, until browned but still pink inside, about 4 minutes total. Serve liver topped with onions and bacon.

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.

Categories     Beef Organ Meats

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.
