Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons butter
1 cup finely sliced onions
2 whole cloves
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 pound chicken livers
3/4 cup flour
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons ground sage or, if possible, 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

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 WITH GARLIC, SAGE, AND WHITE WINE



Liver with Garlic, Sage, and White Wine image

Categories     Sauce     Wine     Garlic     Side     Sage

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons butter or more oil
4 slices calf liver, each at least 1/2 inch thick, about 1 1/2 pounds total
Flour for dredging
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 cup dry white wine
10 or 15 sage leaves, preferably fresh
Juice of 1 lemon
Chopped fresh parsley leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Put half the oil and butter in a large skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium-high heat. When the butter has melted, dredge each of the pieces of liver in the flour, shaking to remove the excess, and add them to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and brown quickly on both sides, for a total of 4 or 5 minutes; the meat should be rare when you're done. Transfer to a warm plate and turn the heat to medium.
  • Add the remaining oil and butter to the skillet along with the garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic begins to color, a minute or two. Add the wine and the sage and cook, stirring, until all the elements are incorporated and the wine has been reduced by half. Add the lemon juice, then taste and adjust the seasoning. Pour the sauce over the meat, garnish, and serve.

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.

Sage & thyme calves' liver with wild mushrooms & pancetta image

Think you don't like liver? This tasty, pan-fried version with herbs, mushrooms and bacon on toast may convert you

Provided by James Martin

Categories     Lunch, Main course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 slices pancetta (or streaky bacon)
1 tbsp vegetable oil
500g calves' liver , sliced into 4 steaks
50g butter
small bunch sage , leaves picked, most roughly chopped
½ small bunch thyme , leaves picked
4 shallots , finely sliced
300g mixed wild or chestnut mushroom , cleaned
zest and juice ½ lemon
4 thick slices of rustic bread , toasted (preferably sourdough)

Steps:

  • Put the pancetta in a large frying pan and cook until crisp, then lift out with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Heat the oil in the pan. Sear the liver steaks for 1-2 mins each side - so they're just still pink in the middle - using half the butter towards the end to baste the meat. Remove the liver to a plate using the slotted spoon and leave to rest, covered with foil, for 10-15 mins.
  • Add the chopped sage, thyme leaves, shallots, mushrooms and lemon zest to the pan. Fry on the highest heat for a few mins, then add the lemon juice and some seasoning. Cook for 3-5 mins until slightly saucy and the mushrooms are soft.
  • Heat the remaining butter in your smallest saucepan until just foaming. Add the remaining whole sage leaves and fry for a few mins until crisp. Drain on kitchen paper with the pancetta. Sit the liver on toast, spoon over the mushroom mixture and scatter over the pancetta and crisp sage. Serve immediately.

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!

Tips:

  • Choose the right liver: Look for a liver that is firm and smooth, without any discoloration or bruising. Fresh liver should have a slightly sweet smell.
  • Soak the liver in milk: This helps to remove any impurities and mellow the flavor of the liver.
  • Slice the liver thinly: This will help it cook evenly.
  • Season the liver well: Liver is a bland meat, so it is important to season it well with salt, pepper, and other spices.
  • Cook the liver over medium heat: This will help to prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Do not overcook the liver: Liver is best when it is cooked just until it is pink in the center.
  • Serve the liver immediately: Liver is best served immediately after it is cooked.

Conclusion:

Liver with sage is a classic dish that is easy to make and delicious to eat. The liver is a nutritious meat that is high in protein and iron. Sage is a herb that has a slightly peppery flavor that complements the liver well. This dish is a great way to enjoy liver and get a healthy dose of nutrients.
