LIVER WITH ONIONS & SAGE

Steps:

• Cut liver into serving pieces.

• Brush liver with soy sauce.
• Arrange with thickest pieces to outsied in 9- inch pie plate.
• Spoon onions evenly over liver.
• Cover tightly and microwave on high (100%) 3 minutes; turn pie plate one-half turn.

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!

CHICKEN LIVERS WITH ONIONS AND SAGE

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a nonstick skillet, and add the onions, cloves, salt and pepper. Toss and stir over medium heat for about 10 minutes. The onions should be browned and soft. Discard the cloves; keep the onions warm.
• Pick over the chicken livers and remove any tough veins. Quarter the livers.
• Put the livers in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the flour and stir to coat well.
• Remove the livers to a baking sheet, separating them.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add half of the livers one at a time. Cook, turning the livers as they brown. One batch of livers takes about 4 to 5 minutes to cook. Drain the livers. Wipe out the skillet, and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Cook the remaining livers the same way, then drain.
• Using the same skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over high heat. Add the livers, cooked onions, sage, salt and pepper. Cook, shaking the skillet and tossing the livers so they will heat throughout. Add the vinegar, stir and blend well for about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley, and serve immediately.

LIVER & BACON WITH ONION GRAVY

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in a large non-stick frying pan until crisp. Meanwhile, mix the flour and sage, if using, and use to dust the liver. Remove bacon from the pan and set aside. Add the oil to the pan and brown the liver for about 1 min on each side. Remove from the pan, then fry the onion until softened. Stir in stock and ketchup, then bubble for 5 mins.
• Put the liver back in the pan and cook for 3 mins until cooked through. Serve with the bacon broken over the top and some mash. (see related recipes)

LIVER AND ONIONS

Steps:

• In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in onion and saute until softened. Stir in sugar and continue to cook until onion caramelizes.
• Rinse liver and remove thin outer membrane. Slice liver into 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick slices.
• Heat remaining butter in a medium skillet over medium heat
• Dredge liver slices in flour and brown in melted butter for about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side. Remove from heat and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve liver smothered with caramelized onions.

CALF'S LIVER WITH SAGE

Steps:

• Remove any tough arteries from the liver. Slice it into very fine julienne strips. Dredge lightly in the flour, shaking off the excess.
• Heat the olive oil in a small nonstick skillet and add the onions. Toss and stir. Add salt and pepper. Cover and cook 10 minutes over medium heat without browning. The onions should be quite soft.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the liver pieces in one layer. Add the liver, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook over high heat 2 to 3 minutes, shaking the skillet and tossing the strips so they cook on all sides. Drain the liver in a colander.
• Heat the butter in the same skillet and, when it is bubbling and hot, add the liver and onions. Sprinkle with sage and cook, stirring, over high heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with Cognac and ignite it. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately over Parmesan cheese bread (see recipe).
