Calfs liver and onions

The first time I cooked liver and onions, I was about 20 years old and cooking food for 250 kids at a German language immersion village. I had no idea what I was doing, but somehow the dish turned out okay. Not that the kids noticed. Fast forward almost 10 years, and when I look at a few slices of calf's liver, I know exactly what to do: fry them quickly in butter, and serve with sweet and sour onions. The onions are sweet because they've been caramelized and sour because they were deglazed…

I grew up eating liver cooked this way, although without the onions, because this was the way Mum did it. I love it, and always have. Mum never liked onions, but once I married and left home, I learned to love them, so I just added them to the "recipe" - which by the way until now has never been written down.

The mashed sweet potatoes with sage butter are a great side dish for calf's liver. We recommend asking the butcher for the freshest calf's liver available, since it can vary in quality. Soaking the liver in milk, a method typically used for pork liver, helps soften and mellow its flavor.

I love liver and onions! It is great with smothered, sliced red potatoes, grits, or mashed potatoes. Add some green beans and you're all set.
