Steps:
- Remove liver from vinegar soak, rinse well, and pat dry. Set aside. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-low heat with 1 tablespoon of fat. Add the onions and stir. Let the onions cook 5 to 10 minutes before stirring again. Stir the onions, scraping the bottom of the skillet. Continue cooking uncovered until the onions are tender, reduced, and caramelized; about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant. Pour in the balsamic, continue cooking until reduced and the onions are coated well. Transfer the caramelized onion mixture to a plate, sprinkle with the fish sauce, let it sit while you cook the liver. In the same pan, heat another tablespoon of fat over medium-high heat. In batches, cook the liver slices 3 to 5 minutes per side. Continue until all the slices are cooked. Place cooked liver, balsamic caramelized onions, salt, and thyme in a food processor. Pulse, breaking everything up, until fine. Slowly stream in the olive oil until the mixture begins to come together smoothly. Add more olive oil to thin the mixture out to your liking. Serve with vegetable sticks, apple slices, plantain crackers, or enjoy it as-is.

Steps:
- Trim liver of veins and membranes. Cut on the diagonal into wide, 1/4-inch slices.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet. Fry the onions in the butter over medium heat, stirring often, until nicely browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt, pepper and vinegar. Set aside.
- Dredge liver pieces with seasoned flour, and shake off excess. In a second large skillet, melt the clarified butter over high heat, and when very hot, drop in the liver pieces, a few at a time. Fry 30 seconds or so on each side. Remove to a serving dish. Liver should still be raw in the center.
- When all liver pieces have been fried, place the onions in the skillet containing the liver juices and reheat the onions thoroughly, stirring often. Add the liver to the onions, toss briefly to heat through, and turn out onto the serving dish. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.

- Choose high-quality liver. Fresh, organic liver from grass-fed cattle is best. Avoid liver that is discolored or has an unpleasant odor.
- Soak the liver in milk. This helps to remove impurities and reduce the bitterness of the liver.
- Cook the liver quickly over high heat. This helps to prevent the liver from becoming tough and rubbery.
- Use a flavorful marinade or sauce. This helps to enhance the flavor of the liver.
- Serve the liver with a side of your favorite vegetables. Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or sautéed greens are all good options.
