Steps:

• Heat butter and olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
• add onions and 1 tsp salt.
• Cook, stirring occasionally until onions are deep brown and caramelized.
• While onion is cooking, fry up bacon in a large skillet.
• Cook all the bacon and drain on a paper towel, leave drippings in the pan.

• Serve with bacon and onions.

Steps:

• Dice up onions and bacon and start them simmering in butter and garlic in a small pan. Leave this on a low heat until the onions become translucent and start becoming sweet.
• While all that is on the stove, chop up your livers and prepare a flour batter seasoned with salt and pepper. Get a thick bottom pan and let it get very hot. Flour up your meat and drop it in in batches. Keep it turning so it browns on all sides but only keep it in for around 1-2min. The inside of the meat should still be lovely and soft when you bite into it. You do NOT want to overcook livers, they have a beautiful flavor on their own.
• Serve with a side of mash potatoes and parsnips and you've got a lovely meal!

Steps:

• Mix the raisins and vinegar together and set aside.
• Trim the livers of any membranes or connective tissue. Cut the pairs in half, making all the pieces as uniform as possible. Pat the livers dry on paper towels.
• Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet. Add onions and saute slowly, over low heat, until golden and tender, about 20 minutes. Transfer onions to a bowl, draining as much of the oil as possible into skillet.
• Increase the heat to high, add the livers and cook them very quickly, moving them around in the oil, for three to five minutes until they begin to brown but are still pink inside. Season with salt and pepper.
• Sprinkle with sage and wine and the raisins and vinegar. Reduce heat to low, return onions to pan, mix them in to reheat. Serve liver and onions moistened with the pan juices.

Steps:

• FRYING THE ONIONS:.
• Put the raisins in a bowl with warm water to cover, so they plump up for a few minutes.
• Slice the onions in half and then crosswise into 1/4-inch thick half moons.:).
• Put 2 tablespoons of oil and 2 of butter in one of the skillets and set it over medium heat.
• As the butter melts, stir in the onions, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and drop in the bay leaves.
• Shake the pan and turn the onions as they heat and start to sizzle, then lower the heat slightly and cook the onions slowly as they gradually wilt and start to color, stirring and tossing them occasionally.
• After 15 minutes or so, when the onions are deep gold all over, raise the heat a bit, pour in the 2 tablespoons of vinegar and cook for a minute, stirring the onions in the vinegar as it steams and evaporates.
• Drain the raisins and gently squeeze out the excess liquid; scatter them in the skillet and toss together with the onions.
• Now lower the heat and continue cooking the onions until they're as dark and caramelized as you want them be.
• Turn off the heat and let the onions rest in the hot pan.
• CLEANING & FRYING THE LIVERS:.
• While the onions are cooking, clean the livers (I do this on paper towels): with a paring knife remove all the fat, veins and membranes and slice the livers into separate lobes.
• Rinse them well then pat dry with fresh paper towels.
• Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon salt and grind pepper on all surfaces of the livers.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 of butter in the second skillet, over medium-high heat, until the butter is melted and foaming.
• Before the butter begins to color, lay the livers in the pan, without crowding them.
• With the heat high, cook the livers for 2 minutes or a bit more, until they're browned and crisped on the underside, then turn them over (in the order in which you put them in the pan).
• Cook about 2 minutes on the second side until they are nicely crisped all over and lift them-a couple at a time-with a spider or slotted spoon, let the oil drain off and place them in the first warm skillet, next to the onions.
• Don't overcook the livers: they should still be slightly pink inside when you move them.
• Taste a piece and season with more salt and pepper if you want.
• If you will be serving right away, heap the onions on top of the livers, then spoon onions and liver together onto warm serving plates.
• If serving is delayed, leave the onions and livers in separate parts of the pan so the livers don't get soggy.
• Smother the livers with onions when you serve with white fluffy rice with almonds or I prefer, broad noodles with parslied butter.
• Yum!

Steps:

• Put the raisins in a bowl with warm water to cover, so they plump up for a few minutes.
• Slice the onions in half and then crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick half moons (see photo, page 28). Put 2 tablespoons of oil and 2 of butter in one of the skillets and set it over medium heat. As the butter melts, stir in the onions, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and drop in the bay leaves. Shake the pan and turn the onions as they heat and start to sizzle, then lower the heat slightly and cook the onions slowly as they gradually wilt and start to color, stirring and tossing them occasionally.

Don't overcook the livers: they should still be slightly pink inside when you move them. Taste a piece and season with more salt and pepper if you want.
• If you will be serving right away, heap the onions on top of the livers, then spoon onions and liver together onto warm serving plates. If serving is delayed, leave the onions and livers in separate parts of the pan so the livers don't get soggy. Smother the livers with onions when you serve.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium sautépan. Add onions and cook over medium-low heat until soft and caramelized, 20 to 30 minutes. Stir occasionally and season with salt.
• Place another sauté pan over medium heat. Add bacon and sauté until browned on edges. Using a slotted spoon, remove to a plate. Pour off fat and place pan back on stove. Season chicken livers with salt and a generous amount of pepper. Add remaining tablespoon olive oil to pan and increase heat to medium high. Place chicken livers in pan and sauté on all sides, until just cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove livers.
• Add thyme, nutmeg, vinegar, mustard and broth to pan and cook on high for 2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. Return bacon and chicken livers to pan and roll in juices to warm through. Lay toasts on four plates. Spread each with a little onion, then spoon livers and juices over top. Serve.
