Calfs Liver With Grapes 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:

• Sprinkle liver on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Dip pieces in flour to coat well on both sides. Shake off excess. Set aside.
• Combine sugar and vinegar in heavy saucepan and bring to boil. Cook, shaking saucepan and stirring, until liquid evaporates. Continue cooking until sugar becomes caramel color. Take care that it does not burn.
• Add chicken broth and stir in tomato paste. Bring to boil and cook 5 minutes or longer until reduced to 1/2 cup. Add grapes and butter.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in heavy skillet and when hot add pieces of liver, a few at a time, in one layer. Cook 1 or 2 minutes on one side and turn. Cooking time will depend on thickness. Cook on second side 1 or 2 minutes. As pieces are cooked transfer to heated platter. Continue adding pieces and a little more oil to skillet as necessary, tablespoon at a time.
• Bring sauce to boil and pour onto liver. Serve with mashed potatoes or pureed cauliflower (see recipe).

Steps:

• Wipe the liver dry with paper towels and dredge lightly with flour, shaking off excess.
• Melt the butter in a large frying pan and brown the liver pieces on both sides. Remove to a dish and keep warm.
• Add the garlic, saute for a minute, then add the Irish whisky and bring to a boil. Add the stock and cook, stirring, until thickened.
• Add the tarragon and heavy cream and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Return the liver to the pan and coat with the sauce. (Allow the liver to cook a little more if necessary, but beware of overcooking.)

Steps:

• Sprinkle the liver slices with salt and pepper, and dredge the slices in flour. Shake off the excess.
• Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the slices in one layer. Add the slices and cook about 1 1/2 minutes on one side. Turn them over and cook about 1 1/2 minutes on the other side.
• Transfer the slices to a warm platter and wipe the skillet.
• Heat the butter until it starts to brown slightly. Add the capers and cook about 1 minute over relatively high heat. Add the tomatoes and cook about 30 seconds. Add the vinegar and stir. Pour the sauce over the liver and sprinkle with parsley.

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:

• Place liver in a nonreactive (ceramic or glass) bowl and pour milk over. Refrigerate, covered, 5 to 6 hours.
• In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. When butter is shimmering, add onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring more frequently until onions are very soft and brown, 30 to 40 minutes more.
• Drain liver and discard milk. Pat liver dry with paper towels.
• Spread flour on a plate and season with salt and pepper. Thoroughly coat liver with the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
• Heat a large (13-inch) saute pan over medium heat and add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the oil and heat until shimmering. Cook (in batches, if necessary, to avoid crowding pan) until liver is firm (but not hard) and browned on the outside but still slightly pink in the center, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining liver, adding more oil to the pan as necessary. Add sage and cook for 1 minute more.
• Divide liver among plates and top with onions.

Steps:

• Sprinkle the liver with salt and pepper. Dredge the slices in flour and shake off excess. Set aside.
• Cut each apple into quarters. Cut away and discard the core and skin of each quarter. Cut quarters into thin slices. There should be about 5 cups.
• Heat one tablespoon of the butter in a skillet and add apple slices. Cook over relatively high heat, shaking skillet and stirring, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with brown sugar and continue cooking, redistributing the apple pieces, about 5 minutes. When cooked, apples should be caramelized; very little liquid should be left in pan.
• Heat oil in a skillet large enough to hold the liver pieces in one layer.
• Add liver and cook over high heat about 1 1/2 minutes to each side or until nicely browned all over. Transfer pieces to hot serving dish and surround with apples.
• Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the shallots to the skillet in which the apples cooked. Cook briefly, stirring, and add vinegar. Bring to the boil and pour sauce over the liver. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Sprinkle liver with salt and pepper; dust with flour. Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add liver and sauté until crisp and golden, about 3 minutes per side for medium. Transfer liver to plates. Add garlic to skillet; stir 30 seconds. Add broth and vinegar and boil 1 minute, scraping up browned bits. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Spoon sauce over liver; sprinkle with parsley.
