The onions soften and caramelize, their sweetness a counterpoint to the richness of the liver. The liver, cooked to your preferred degree of doneness, develops a satisfying sear on the outside while remaining tender within. The result is a harmonious blend of savory and sweet, a comforting dish with deep, earthy notes.

This simple yet satisfying meal delivers a hearty experience, perfect for those cool evenings when you crave something substantial and flavorful. The combination of textures, from the yielding onions to the smooth liver, adds another layer of enjoyment to this straightforward recipe.

This dish provides a nourishing and flavorful experience. Consider serving it with a side of creamy mashed potatoes or a crisp green salad for a complete and balanced meal. The liver and onions offer a delightful contrast in both taste and texture.

Whether you are a lifelong fan or a curious newcomer, this recipe provides a simple way to enjoy a timeless classic. The dish is a testament to the power of simple ingredients, properly prepared, to create a truly memorable meal. Soaking the liver in milk beforehand mellows the flavor, ensuring a pleasant taste.

This step contributes to the overall enjoyment of the dish, resulting in a balanced and harmonious flavor profile.

Instructions

    1.
    Trim the onions’ ends, make a small cut into each skin, and remove the outer layer. Slice the onions into thin rings (about ¼” thick) and separate them into individual rounds.
    2.
    Place the liver in a bowl with 1 cup of milk (not listed in the ingredients because it is poured off) and one teaspoon of kosher salt. Let it sit for 1-2 hours (or longer, if possible) to remove the bitter taste. Strain the liver from the milk.
    3.
    Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tbsp ghee and heat until melted. Tilt the pan to distribute the fat. Add the onion rings and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until softened and lightly browned. Remove the onions to a plate and set aside.
    4.
    Add the remaining tablespoon of butter, allow it to melt, then tilt the pan to distribute the fat. Then add sliced liver and cook until starting to brown all over.
    5.
    Once the liver is halfway cooked, add the onions back into the pan. Finish cooking the liver to your desired doneness.
