SAUTEED CALF'S LIVER



Sauteed Calf's Liver image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound calf's liver, cut into 1/2 inch thick pieces
1 1/2 cups whole milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons sunflower or other neutral-tasting oil, plus more as needed
4 fresh sage sprigs, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Place liver in a nonreactive (ceramic or glass) bowl and pour milk over. Refrigerate, covered, 5 to 6 hours.
  • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. When butter is shimmering, add onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring more frequently until onions are very soft and brown, 30 to 40 minutes more.
  • Drain liver and discard milk. Pat liver dry with paper towels.
  • Spread flour on a plate and season with salt and pepper. Thoroughly coat liver with the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
  • Heat a large (13-inch) saute pan over medium heat and add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the oil and heat until shimmering. Cook (in batches, if necessary, to avoid crowding pan) until liver is firm (but not hard) and browned on the outside but still slightly pink in the center, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining liver, adding more oil to the pan as necessary. Add sage and cook for 1 minute more.
  • Divide liver among plates and top with onions.

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!

CALVES' LIVER WITH STICKY ONION RELISH & PROSCIUTTO



Calves' liver with sticky onion relish & prosciutto image

Try this posh version of liver and bacon, flavoured with Marsala and sage - use any leftover relish with cheese and cold meats

Provided by Jane Hornby

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 14

250g calves' liver , sliced
a little olive oil
2 slices prosciutto
1 tbsp flour , seasoned
small handful sage leaves
150ml marsala or madeira
knob of butter
seasonal greens , to serve (optional)
potatoes , to serve (optional)
600g (3 large) red onions , very thinly sliced
6 juniper berries , lightly crushed
leaves from a few thyme sprigs
100ml red wine vinegar
5 tbsp light muscovado sugar

Steps:

  • To make the relish, put the onions, juniper and thyme in a large saucepan, season with 1 tsp salt and a little pepper. Cook on a high heat for 10 mins, stirring regularly as the onions start to soften. Add the vinegar, sugar and 100ml water. Cover, boil for 5 mins, then uncover and simmer gently for 5 mins or until soft and with a little juice remaining. Meanwhile, remove large tubes, membrane or gristle from the liver. Pat dry with kitchen paper.
  • Heat 1 tsp oil in a large frying pan and add the prosciutto. Fry for 1 min each side or until golden and crisp. Set aside on a plate and keep warm in a low oven.
  • Add a splash more oil to the pan. Dust the liver slices in the flour and pat away any excess. Place the liver in the hot pan, scatter the sage in, then fry for 1 min each side if the liver is sliced thinly, longer if thicker. When the liver is golden and just pink in the middle, transfer it and the crisped sage to the plate in the oven.
  • Return the pan to the hob and add the Marsala. Boil until syrupy. Let the butter melt into this sauce, season to taste, then set aside. If your sauce reduces too quickly, just add a little water. Plate up the liver, prosciutto, sage and warm onion relish, then spoon over the sauce. Serve with seasonal greens and potatoes, if you like.

  • Season Liberally: Season the liver generously with salt, pepper, and herbs to enhance the flavor.
  • Cook Quickly: Liver cooks quickly, so do not overcook it to prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Use Fresh Orange Juice: Fresh orange juice adds a vibrant flavor to the dish. Use a good quality juice for the best results.
  • Add Butter: Adding a knob of butter at the end of cooking adds richness and flavor to the dish.
  • Garnish Elegantly: Garnish the dish with fresh herbs, orange slices, or a sprinkle of paprika for a touch of elegance.
