Categories     Chicken Livers

Time 25m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

350 g chicken livers
200 g bacon
1 onion
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon garlic
flour, for coating livers
salt and pepper for seasoning

Steps:

  • Dice up onions and bacon and start them simmering in butter and garlic in a small pan. Leave this on a low heat until the onions become translucent and start becoming sweet.
  • While all that is on the stove, chop up your livers and prepare a flour batter seasoned with salt and pepper. Get a thick bottom pan and let it get very hot. Flour up your meat and drop it in in batches. Keep it turning so it browns on all sides but only keep it in for around 1-2min. The inside of the meat should still be lovely and soft when you bite into it. You do NOT want to overcook livers, they have a beautiful flavor on their own.
  • Serve with a side of mash potatoes and parsnips and you've got a lovely meal!

CALF'S LIVER WITH BACON AND ONIONS



Calf's Liver with Bacon and Onions image

The mashed sweet potatoes with sage butter are a great side dish for calf's liver. We recommend asking the butcher for the freshest calf's liver available, since it can vary in quality. Soaking the liver in milk, a method typically used for pork liver, helps soften and mellow its flavor.

Categories     Beef     Onion     Pork     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Fall

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb calf's liver (1/2 inch thick), cut into 4 pieces
1 cup whole milk
8 bacon slices, halved crosswise
3 medium onions, halved lengthwise, then cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Soak liver in milk in a bowl 20 minutes.
  • While liver is soaking, cook bacon in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, turning over occasionally, until crisp. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain and reserve 2 1/2 tablespoons fat in skillet, transferring remaining fat to a small bowl.
  • Cook onions with salt and pepper to taste in fat in skillet over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer onions to a bowl and add bacon. Keep warm, covered.
  • Pat liver dry and discard milk. Stir together flour, salt, and pepper on a sheet of wax paper and dredge liver in flour mixture, shaking off excess.
  • Add 1 1/2 tablespoons reserved bacon fat to skillet and heat over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté liver, turning over once, until browned but still pink inside, about 4 minutes total. Serve liver topped with onions and bacon.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh chicken livers. Avoid any that are discolored or have an off odor.
  • Soak the chicken livers in milk. This will help to remove any bitterness and make them more tender.
  • Season the chicken livers well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Cook the chicken livers over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Do not overcook the chicken livers. They should be cooked through but still slightly pink in the center.
  • Serve the chicken livers immediately. They are best when eaten hot.

Conclusion:

My Mom's Fried Chicken Livers with Bacon and Caramelized Onions is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken livers are tender and flavorful, and the bacon and caramelized onions add a delicious richness and depth of flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
