Recipe Directions
- Prepare the Liver: Rinse the liver slices under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings such as dried thyme or paprika.
- Dredge in Flour: Dredge the liver slices in flour, shaking off any excess.
- Caramelize the Onions: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Remove the caramelized onions from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Liver: In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and olive oil. Once hot, add the dredged liver slices and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through.
- Serve: Serve the cooked liver alongside the caramelized onions. Enjoy your Delicious Liver and Onions hot!
