6 people added this to their Recipe Box
Balsamic vinegar adds a chic twist to quick and easy liver and onions. Choose calves' liver that is about 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick so the flour has time to become crisp and golden.

Suggested Recipes
-
2 tbsp (25 mL) extra-virgin olive oil (approx)
2 onions, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp (2 mL) each salt and pepper
Pinch dried thyme
1/4 cup (50 mL) all-purpose flour
1 lb (500 g) calves' or chicken liver
1/2 cup (125 mL) sodium-reduced chicken stock
3 tbsp (50 mL) balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp (25 mL) chopped fresh parsley
2 tsp (10 mL) butter
Preparation:
In large skillet, heat half of the oil over medium heat; fry onions, garlic, half each of the salt and pepper and the thyme, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8 minutes. Transfer to bowl.
Meanwhile, in shallow dish, combine flour and remaining salt and pepper. Peel membrane from liver; trim off any tough blood vessels. Dredge liver in flour mixture to coat, shaking off excess.
In skillet, heat remaining oil over medium-high heat; fry liver, in batches, turning once and adding more oil if necessary, until slightly pink inside, about 3 minutes. Transfer to plate; keep warm.
Wipe out skillet; add stock and vinegar and bring to boil. Return onion mixture to pan and heat through, about 2 minutes. Stir in parsley and butter; cook until slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Serve over liver.
