Calfs Liver With Shallots And Wine Vinegar Sauce Recipes

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 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:

• Sprinkle liver with salt and pepper. Dredge slices thoroughly on both sides with flour. Shake off excess.
• Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add liver slices. Cook about 1 minute or until nicely browned. Turn slices and cook about a minute longer for rare. Cook longer for medium-rare and well done.
• Remove liver from skillet and keep warm. Pour off fat from skillet and add butter. Add shallots and garlic. Cook over high heat, stirring until butter is hazelnut brown. Quickly add vinegar and bring to a boil. Pour sauce over liver. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Rinse the liver; pat dry with paper towels.
• Season both sides with salt and pepper.
• Pour the flour onto a plate and dredge each liver on both sides, shaking off the excess.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat.
• When the oil is hot, lay the liver slices in the pan.

Add vinegar, turn the heat to high and reduce by half. Add stock and reduce again by half. Break remaining butter into small pieces and whisk into sauce until smooth. Whisk in mustard and remove from heat.

Steps:

• Pre-heat hot a large, thick skillet. Season the liver with salt and green peppercorn. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter and sear the liver until brown on both sides, about 8-10 minutes. I prefer my liver medium. Place livers on warm plates. Place skillet back on the heat, add shallots and brown, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Add figs and sautee for 1 minute. Deglaze with the vinegars and reduce by 50%. Whisk in butter and check for seasoning. Reserve in a water bath.
