Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the liver

    Rinse the calves' liver under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut the liver into slices about 1/2 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Season the flour

    In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each slice of liver in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

  3. 3

    Cook the onions

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Remove onions from the skillet and set aside.

  4. 4

    Cook the liver

    In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and increase the heat to medium-high. Add the floured liver slices to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your liking.

  5. 5

    Combine and garnish

    Return the caramelized onions to the skillet with the liver for the last minute of cooking. Remove from heat, sprinkle with minced garlic and chopped parsley. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the dish before serving.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Transfer the liver and onions to a serving platter and enjoy hot with your choice of sides.
