CALF LIVER, APPLES AND ONIONS



Calf Liver, Apples and Onions image

I love liver, but my kids do not. I have to come with different ways to get them to eat it. This is only way they will eat it. It does have a little different taste, but I think the apples and onions compliment the liver very nice.

3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar

2 large onions, sliced thin

FLAMBOYANT CALF'S LIVER WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS



Flamboyant Calf's Liver with Caramelized Onions image

Categories     Beef     Onion     Winter     Parade

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 pound sliced Black Forest bacon or other lightly salted bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 large onions, halved lengthwise and thinly slivered
2 pounds calf's liver, sliced 1/2-inch thick
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
3 tablespoons chicken broth
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • 1. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp but not burned. Using a slotted spoon, remove bacon to paper towels to drain. Set aside, covered with foil to keep warm.
  • 2. In the same skillet, cook the onions over medium heat until wilted and golden, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a bowl, cover and keep warm.
  • 3. Cook the liver, 2 slices at a time, for about 1 1/2 minutes per side for medium-rare, adding butter to the skillet if needed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • 4. Cut each liver slice on the diagonal into 6 pieces. Arrange on a serving platter and cover loosely with foil.
  • 5. Add vinegar and broth to the skillet; bring to a boil, scraping up any brown bits. Add the reserved onions and toss over medium heat for 1 minute to warm through; spoon over the liver and top with bacon. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to slice the liver thinly. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Soak the liver in milk for 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to remove any bitterness and make the liver more tender.
  • Season the liver liberally with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the liver.
  • Cook the liver over medium heat until it is just cooked through. Overcooking will make the liver tough and dry.
  • Serve the liver immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for liver include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.

Conclusion:

Calf's liver with caramelized apples is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The liver is tender and flavorful, and the caramelized apples add a sweet and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
