  • About

All liver is at its best very fresh, tender, and young. This dish should be made with the tenderest milk-fed calf’s liver you can buy, cut as thin as possible - not more than ¼-inch slices. A good butcher will do it for you, or you can do it yourself with a very sharp knife.

Ingredients

  • lb calf’s liver, thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2

Method

Peel off the skin from around the liver and trim out any nasty-looking tubes, then cut the slices into bite-sized pieces, like scraps of paper.

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed frying pan until hot but not smoking. Put in the onions, mixing into the oil, then cover and cook very gently until they are soft and golden yellow, not browning. This will take 30-40 minutes.
