CALF'S LIVER WITH BACON AND ONIONS
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.

Steps:
- Wash the chicken livers, get rid of the fat if it has and cut them to half. Pat dry with kitchen paper. Cut half the onions and slice them. Slice finely the bacons.
- Take a big frying pan, heat the oil and butter put the sliced bacons and fry until it is golden. Then you can add the sliced onions and stir fry for another few mins until gets tender.
- You can turn down the heat now and add the chopped tomato (for the juice), and the livers. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for about 5 mins. Careful the livers can splash if they are wet!
- Check and stir the livers. You can add the crushed black pepper, the wine and the majorams. Cook for another 4-5 minutes. Wait with the salt! It goes only at the end!
- (You can strenght the flavour of the majorams if you crumble them)
- You will see a kind of stew in you pan. Now you can turn up the heat again and stir the stuff and let it thicken a bit. Now it is time to check the livers. Stab them with a knife. If there's no blood coming out from the liver, it means they are ready. Do not overcook the livers, they become hard.
- If the liver is soft and ready, you can turn off the heat and add the rest of the majorams and season with the salt. Salt must be the last one for the liver!
- To serve, you can make boiled rice or serve with fresh white bread. If you have fresh parsley at home, you can chop a littre for dressing. I can assure your family will like it! You can try it with a little pickles too.
- Good apetite!

SOUTHERN FRIED LIVER 'N' ONIONS
My husband and I have always loved liver and onions. My mom and my grandma told me how to make this years ago. My mom always steamed hers, but I prefer not to. I like it crispy and golden with the onions caramelized. My daughters never would touch liver, so when they lived at home, I had to break out the PB&J or scrambled eggs...

Steps:
- 1. Pour about 1/2" to 1" canola oil into a heavy skillet (I use a cast iron chicken fryer). Turn heat to high. When oil is hot, add onions and sprinkle with sugar. Reduce heat to medium high and cook, stirring frequently until onions have lightly browned. Remove from pan and set aside.
- 2. Remove liver from package, wash. If pieces are large, cut in half. Mix flour, corn meal, salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Roll liver pieces in flour mixture.
- 3. In the same skillet that onions were caramelized in, add liver pieces a few pieces at a time so as not to overcrowd your pan. Brown well on both sides using medium to medium high heat. Transfer to plate and repeat with next batch.
- 4. Once all liver is browned, return to pan and top with onions. Reduce heat to medium and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to serving platter and arrange caramelized onions on top. Serve hot with your favorite veggies (I like to serve with mashed potatoes, sawmill gravy and green beans).

Steps:
- In a 12-inch skillet, cook the bacon slices. This should take about 20 minutes.
- Remove bacon slices from skillet, and set aside, but DO NOT drain off the bacon grease.
- To the bacon grease in skillet, add the sliced onions; season with salt and pepper. Cook onion slices over medium to medium-high heat, for about 15 minutes; stirring often.
- Remove onions from the skillet, and set aside, but DO NOT drain off any of the bacon grease. To the skillet, add a couple tablespoons of the Buttered Flavored Crisco.
- In a shallow bowl, add the flour; sprinkle in some of the salt and pepper. Lightly dust liver in the flour, add to the skillet, and cook liver over medium heat; till lightly browned on both sides. This doesn't take very long, so watch and turn liver quickly, so it doesn't burn in skillet. Remove cooked liver from the skillet, and set aside on a plate.
- Add the sliced onions back to the skillet. Place liver ontop of the cooked onions, then top the liver with the bacon slices. Cover skillet with a lid; cook the liver, bacon and onions over low heat (a low simmer) for exactly 15 minutes.
- Turn off heat; remove the liver, bacon, and onions, and place on a serving platter or plate to serve.
- Note: You may think the 3 large onions is a bit too much for this recipe, but it's not. The onions do cook down quite a bit.

LIVER AND ONIONS
I grew up eating liver cooked this way, although without the onions, because this was the way Mum did it. I love it, and always have. Mum never liked onions, but once I married and left home, I learned to love them, so I just added them to the "recipe" - which by the way until now has never been written down.

CALF LIVER AND ONIONS WITH BACON
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.
