Liver With Garlic Sage And White Wine Recipes

CALF'S LIVER WITH SAGE

Steps:

• Remove any tough arteries from the liver. Slice it into very fine julienne strips. Dredge lightly in the flour, shaking off the excess.
• Heat the olive oil in a small nonstick skillet and add the onions. Toss and stir. Add salt and pepper. Cover and cook 10 minutes over medium heat without browning. The onions should be quite soft.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the liver pieces in one layer. Add the liver, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook over high heat 2 to 3 minutes, shaking the skillet and tossing the strips so they cook on all sides. Drain the liver in a colander.
• Heat the butter in the same skillet and, when it is bubbling and hot, add the liver and onions. Sprinkle with sage and cook, stirring, over high heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with Cognac and ignite it. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately over Parmesan cheese bread (see recipe).

LIVER WITH SAGE

Steps:

• Peel any membrane from the liver and trim out any tough ventricles.
• Using a sharp knife, finely slice the liver about 1/2in thick, or even thinner if you prefer.
• Mix the flour with the salt, pepper and sage. Dip the liver slices into the seasoned flour and shake off the excess.
• Heat the oil in a large, heavy frying pan over a high heat and, when very hot, add the liver slices.
• Cook for a minute or two on each side, depending on the thickness and how you like your liver.
• Transfer to four warmed plates and serve with creamy mash potato.

LIVER WITH ONIONS & SAGE

• Cut liver into serving pieces.
• Mix onions, oil, pepper and sage in 1-qt casserole.
• Cover and microwave on high (100 until onions are crisp tender, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Brush liver with soy sauce.
• Arrange with thickest pieces to outsied in 9- inch pie plate.
• Spoon onions evenly over liver.
• Cover tightly and microwave on high (100%) 3 minutes; turn pie plate one-half turn.
• Micro- wave until liver is no longer pink, 1 to 3 minutes (do not overcook).
• Let stand 3 minutes. (Liver will continue to cook while standing.) Sprinkle with lemon juice and parsley just before serving.

LIVER WITH GARLIC, SAGE, AND WHITE WINE

Steps:

• Put half the oil and butter in a large skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium-high heat. When the butter has melted, dredge each of the pieces of liver in the flour, shaking to remove the excess, and add them to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and brown quickly on both sides, for a total of 4 or 5 minutes; the meat should be rare when you're done. Transfer to a warm plate and turn the heat to medium.
• Add the remaining oil and butter to the skillet along with the garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic begins to color, a minute or two. Add the wine and the sage and cook, stirring, until all the elements are incorporated and the wine has been reduced by half. Add the lemon juice, then taste and adjust the seasoning. Pour the sauce over the meat, garnish, and serve.
