Liver and Onions

 

Now, hush! Don't believe what you've been told.  My son loves this and has all his life.  Come on, give it a try!

 

1 pound calves' liver

3 Tablespoons butter

1 onion sliced

1 teaspoon granulated sugar (optional)

1/4 cup flour

1 Tablespoon butter

Salt and Pepper to taste

 

In a medium skillet, melt one Tablespoon butter over medium heat.  Stir in the sliced onions and sauté until softened.  Stir in sugar and continue to cook until onion caramelizes.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

 

Rinse liver and remove any visible membrane.  Most calves' liver comes pre-sliced but if it is not, then slice into 1/4 to 1/2 inch slices.

 

Heat remaining butter in a medium skillet over medium heat.

 

Dredge liver slices in flour and brown in melted butter for about 3 or 4  minutes per side.  Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.  Serve each slice with the caramelized onions smothered on top.  Be careful not to overcook as it will become tough.

 

Serving suggestion:  A baked potato and green beans go well with this entrée. Add crusty garlic bread if desired.
