CALF LIVER VENETIAN STYLE (fegato alla veneziana)

04/15/2016 by Filippo Trapella Leave a Comment

Calf liver Venetian Style is another recipe originating from the North Italian culinary tradition. The meat is stir-fried  just the time  to be medium cooked, and served with sweet and sour onions. This calf liver recipe pairs greatly with toasted bread slices or white polenta. When done, serve the liver immediately with minced parsley and black pepper, and don’t forget a glass of good white wine!

STEWED ONIONS

Peel and finely slice the onions. Rinse and dry the calf liver, then slice into 1 inch strips.

Melt the butter in a pan over medium/low heat. When the butter starts to bubbling, pour the onions and sugar.

Let the onions cooking slow until translucent and extremely tender, then add the vegetable stock, just enough to obtain a creamy sauce, not watery.

Cook 5 minutes more, then raise the flame and add the vinegar.

STIR-FRIED CALF LIVER

Cook the calf liver strips 3-4 mins along with onions over high eat. The meat inside has to be pale pink, medium cooked but still juicy.

Do not overcook the liver, otherwise it will be too leathery. Complete with minced parsley, salt as needed and a sprinkle of black pepper. Serve immediately.
