Join me and let's see how to make Calf's Liver and Onions

Instructions:

Step 1

Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they become soft and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove the onions from the skillet and set them aside.

Step 2

In the same skillet, add the remaining butter. Season the calf's liver slices with salt and pepper. Sear the liver slices for 1-2 minutes per side until they are nicely browned but still pink inside. Remove the liver from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the white wine and cook for a minute to deglaze the pan.

Step 4

Return the caramelized onions to the skillet and stir them together with the garlic and wine.

Step 5

Place the seared calf's liver slices on top of the onions. Pour in the chicken or beef broth and let it simmer for a few minutes to heat everything through and finish cooking the liver to your desired level of doneness.

Step 6

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve your delicious calf's liver and onions immediately. Enjoy this classic Italian dish with a side of your choice, such as mashed potatoes or polenta.
