Absolute Best Liver and Onions
This easy liver and onions recipe will make a liver lover out of the pickiest eaters! Soaking in milk and quick cooking guarantees tender results.
Ingredients
| 2 | pounds sliced beef liver (or chicken liver) |
|---|---|
| 1 ½ | cups milk, or as needed |
| ¼ | cup butter, divided |
| 2 | large onions, sliced into rings |
| 2 | cups all-purpose flour, or as needed |
| salt and pepper to taste |
Instructions
| 1. | Gently rinse liver slices under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place in a shallow dish; pour in enough milk to cover. Let stand while preparing onions, or set aside for longer if you have time. Soaking will remove any bitterness. |
|---|---|
| 2. | Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion rings; cook and stir in butter until tender and soft, about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer onions into a bowl and set the skillet aside. |
| 3. | Place flour on a plate; season with salt and pepper. Drain milk from liver and coat liver slices in flour mixture. (Or you can avoid this step and fry liver slices without putting them in the flour. In this case the liver will be more tender and soft and will melt in your mouth.) |
| 4. | Melt remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet; increase heat to medium-high and fry coated liver slices until lightly browned, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Return onions to the skillet and reduce heat to medium; continue to cook until onions are heated through and liver is slightly pink inside, or longer to suit your taste. Optional : You can add in the end a tablespoon of sour cream and sprinkle the liver with parmesan. |
