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!

CALF LIVER AND ONIONS WITH BACON

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.

SAUTéED CALF'S LIVER WITH BACON AND RADICCHIO

Steps:

• In a large skillet, sauté bacon and onion until both are well browned and onions are tender, about 10 minutes. If pan starts to dry out, add a tablespoon of olive oil.
• Add radicchio and a large pinch of salt and pepper and continue to sauté until radicchio is very tender, about 5 minutes longer. Stir in the honey and vinegar, then transfer mixture to a serving platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
• Wipe out skillet and add a tablespoon of oil. While it heats, season liver with salt and pepper. Add liver to pan, in batches if necessary, and sauté for about 2 minutes a side over high heat. (Add more oil to pan between batches if necessary.) Liver is done when it is golden on surface but still pink on inside. As pieces cook, transfer them to serving platter on top of radicchio mixture. Garnish with parsley and serve over polenta if desired.
