Bonnies Calfs Liver With Caramelized Onions Recipes

Steps:

• In a large glass baking dish, add liver and milk and let soak for 20 minutes.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, add bacon and butter and cook until fat has rendered, about 6 minutes. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain and reserve 3 tablespoons fat in skillet. Reserve remaining fat.
• Cook onions with salt and pepper, to taste, in bacon fat in skillet over moderate heat for 10 minutes or until caramelized. Transfer onions to a bowl and add bacon. Set aside.
• Pat liver dry and discard milk. In a large zip-top bag, add flour, Essence, salt and pepper. Working in batches, add liver and shake to coat. Set aside on baking sheet until ready to cook.
• Add 2 tablespoons reserved bacon fat to skillet over high heat and add liver; cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Turn liver over, remove pan from heat, add sherry and beef broth, return pan to heat and shake and flambe. Cook on second side for about 2 minutes or until cooked through. Serve liver with pan sauce, topped with onions and bacon.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

Steps:

• Rinse liver to remove any traces of blood and discard membrane and any tough veins. Cut crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices.
• Cook onions in 2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, 1 minute. Cover skillet and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and keep warm, covered.
• Pat half of liver slices dry and toss with salt and pepper to taste. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté seasoned liver, shaking skillet and turning liver, until browned on both sides but still pink inside, about 2 minutes. Put cooked liver on top of onions and cover.
• Add water to skillet and deglaze, scraping up brown bits and boiling until liquid is slightly reduced. Pour sauce over cooked liver and wipe skillet clean. Sauté remaining liver as above, then add rest of liver with onions and parsley, tossing briefly.

Steps:

• 1. COOK'S TIP Marinate the calf's liver in a shallow dish covered with soy sauce. You can cook the onions in one skillet and the liver in a second skillet.
• 2. ONIONS: Caramelize the onion rings while the liver marinates. Heat a medium skillet over medium high heat, add one tablespoon of olive oil and one tablespoon of butter. Add the onion rings and a little pepper to taste. Salt lightly, if you prefer. Cook onions until limp. Add the 3 tablespoons of milk, one at a time, to the pan with the onions and stir gently and cook until golden brown. As they brown, you will have to watch them carefully so they don't burn. When they are a nice caramel color, set aside and keep warm.
• 3. LIVER Pre-heat a large skillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil and one tablespoon butter. Remove liver from the shallow dish, shake off soy sauce. Shake garlic powder generously over liver, follow with fresh cracked pepper. Place the seasoned side of the liver in the hot oil. Fry until it is brown, then turn and fry the other side until it is brown. Make sure it is brown, but don't overcook the liver. About 5 minutes per side.
• 4. Serve with the caramelized onions on top of the liver. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Gently rinse liver slices under cold water, and place in a medium bowl. Pour in enough milk to cover. Let stand while preparing onions. (I like to soak up to an hour or two - whatever you have time for.) This step is SO important in taking the bitter taste of the liver out.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Separate onion rings, and saute them in butter until soft. Remove onions, and melt remaining butter in the skillet. Season the flour with salt and pepper, and put it in a shallow dish or on a plate. Drain milk from liver, and coat slices in the flour mixture.
• When the butter has melted, turn the heat up to medium-high, and place the coated liver slices in the pan. Cook until nice and brown on the bottom. Turn, and cook on the other side until browned. Add onions, and reduce heat to medium. Cook a bit longer to taste. Our family prefers the liver to just barely retain a pinkness on the inside when you cut to check. Enjoy!

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.

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.

Steps:

• Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan. Add onion and cook it slowly over low heat, uncovered, with garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper. The onion should take about 45 minutes to become tender and almost caramelized. Do not let it burn.
• Meanwhile, saute apples in butter until lightly brown. Set aside and keep warm.
• Remove the onion from frying pan and keep warm. Add remaining olive oil (a little more if necessary) and saute liver quickly on both sides (about three minutes altogether) in order for it to be pink. Add the wine and over high heat scrape up the cooking juices. Put liver onto a serving dish with onions and top with apple. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• In a large skillet, heat 1/4 cup of the olive oil over medium heat.
• Add the onions and cook slowly until caramelized.
• Use a slotted spoon and remove to a bowl.
• Place the pancetta on a baking sheet and cook in the oven until crisp, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Transfer to paper towels to drain.
• Combine the vinegar, sugar and wine in a 6-quart saucepan and bring to a boil.
• Add the turnips and cook for 5 minutes, or until tender.
• Remove the turnips and drain.
• In a clean skillet, heat the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil.
• Dredge the liver in the seasoned flour, and add half of the slices to the skillet.
• Cook the liver, undisturbed, over moderately high heat until dark brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Transfer to a platter.
• Add the balsamic vinegar and caramelized onions to the skillet and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 3 minutes.
• Return the liver to the skillet and cook for a minute, then add the parsley.
• Transfer the liver and sauce to a platter, top with the pancetta and turnip halves and serve.
• Serve with brown rice and biscuits.
