Calves liver with onions

When I was a child I hated liver. My dislike never deterred my parents and they kept cooking it and force feeding me...

It took me 2 decades to realise that what I don't like is pork liver, which is exactly what my mother used to cook. I have since had chicken and calves liver and I like it very much.

Calves liver has the best taste and it is delicious cooked with onions. 

The onions can be fully caramelised with the vinegar before cooking the liver but I prefer to add the vinegar and liver together as I prefer a 'vinegar-tasting liver'.

This recipe is simple, only has 3 ingredients and it's quick.

Serves: 2 persons.

Ingredients:

  • 2 calves liver steaks (around 250g)
  • 200g onions (1 large onion), cut in half and sliced
  • 40ml white vinegar (I used rice vinegar)
  • olive oil to taste
  • salt & pepper to taste
Method:
  1. Fry the onions in olive oil until they are soft and slightly golden.


  2. Add the white vinegar and mix with the onions.
  3. Add the calves liver and cook a few minutes each side. Don't let it cook too much or it will have a rubbery texture!


  4. Serve on top of the onions with mashed potatoes or boiled potatoes.
