Fried Liver with Onions

Ingredients:

  • 500 g (1 lb) liver (beef or chicken)
  • 2 large onions (sliced)
  • 1 cup milk (optional, for soaking)
  • ½ cup flour (for dredging)
  • 3–4 tbsp oil or butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: garlic, paprika, or a splash of vinegar

Instructions:

1. Prep the liver

  • Rinse and slice into thin pieces
  • Remove any membranes
  • Optional: soak in milk for 30–60 minutes (reduces strong flavor and bitterness)

2. Prepare onions

  • Slice onions thinly
  • Cook them in a pan with a little oil or butter over medium heat until soft and golden (about 10–15 minutes)
  • Set aside

3. Cook the liver

  • Pat liver dry
  • Lightly coat in flour, salt, and pepper
  • Heat oil/butter in a pan
  • Fry liver slices for 2–3 minutes per side (don’t overcook or it becomes tough)

4. Combine

  • Return onions to the pan
  • Mix with liver and cook together for 1–2 minutes

Tips for best results:

  • ✔ Don’t overcook—liver should stay slightly tender inside
  • ✔ Add a splash of vinegar or lemon at the end for balance
  • ✔ Serve with mashed potatoes or bread
