  • Add the cooking oil to the same pan and heat until ready to fry inches Put two or three pieces of liver in the oil leaving a 1" space between each. Keep the oil at a good temperature to maintain frying. Fry liver on each side until golden brown and remove. You are not trying to fully cook it, just brown it.
  • Take the liver out, put it a plate and cover it with foil. Pour the oil out into the the cup with the butter in it to make about 1/4 cup; pour this back in the pan and put on a medium fire.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 thin slices calf's liver, about 1 1/2 pounds
Salt to taste, if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups thinly sliced onions
1/4 cup corn oil
3 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup drained capers
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Trim away and discard any tough membranes in the liver slices. Cut the slices into thin strips about a quarter of an inch wide. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a small heavy skillet and add the onions. Cook, stirring often, over moderately high heat about 10 minutes or until onions are golden brown. Reduce heat as necessary. Do not allow the onions to burn or they will be bitter.
  • When the onions are almost ready, heat a wide, heavy skillet and add two tablespoons of the corn oil. When hot and almost smoking, add half of the liver strips. Cook over high heat, turning the liver pieces so that they cook evenly. Cook about three minutes. Scoop out the pieces and transfer them to a warm serving dish.
  • Heat the remaining two tablespoons of corn oil. When it is very hot, add remaining liver strips. Cook as before. Remove the liver and add to the initial batch.
  • Pour off all fat from the skillet and wipe it out thoroughly. Return the skillet to the heat and add the butter and capers. Cook, shaking the skillet and stirring, about one minute. Add the liver and onions. Stir to blend well.
  • Cook until thoroughly hot. Sprinkle with the vinegar and toss about 15 seconds. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with chopp edparsley and serve.

ABSOLUTE BEST LIVER AND ONIONS



Absolute Best Liver and Onions image

This recipe will turn liver haters into converts. Very simple! The three things that will set your liver above all others are: 1) soak in milk, 2)turn liver as little as possible and 3) don't overcook!

Provided by JSHULER43

Categories     Everyday Cooking

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds sliced beef liver
1 ½ cups milk, or as needed
¼ cup butter, divided
2 large Vidalia onions, sliced into rings
2 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed
salt and pepper to taste

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!

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.
