Liver and onions might sound like an old-school dish your grandma used to make, but don’t knock it until you try it! This classic recipe is rich, flavorful, and packed with nutrients. When cooked right, it’s a dish that’ll surprise you with how comforting and delicious it can be.
Ingredients:
• 1⁄4 cup flour – For coating the liver, giving it a light crust.
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt – To enhance the flavors.
• 1⁄8 teaspoon pepper – For a subtle kick.
• 1 lb beef liver – Thinly sliced for tenderness.
• 1⁄4–1⁄2 cup butter – Adds richness to the dish.
• Oil – For frying, as needed.
• 2 cups thinly sliced onions – Caramelized onions are the secret to balancing the liver’s flavor.
Instructions:
1. Prep the Liver:
In a shallow dish, mix flour, salt, and pepper. Coat each liver slice evenly in the mixture.
2. Sauté the Onions:
Heat a mix of butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until golden and caramelized, about 10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Cook the Liver:
Add more butter and oil to the skillet. Fry the liver slices for 2–3 minutes per side, just until browned and cooked through. Avoid overcooking to keep it tender.
4. Combine and Serve:
Return the onions to the skillet, toss with the liver, and let them warm together for a minute. Serve hot and enjoy!
