Calves Liver with Onion Rings and Apple
4 ounces butter
2 medium-sized onions
Salt and freshly ground pepper
3-4 medium-sized cooking apples
2 slices of liver for each person
Preheat oven to 250 F (120 C)
Slice the onions in half and then slice again fairly thin. Wash the apples, cut them in quarters and core them. Slice the apples into about 1/4 inch (about 1 cm) thick slices.
Melt 1 ounce of the butter in a large skillet over moderate heat. When the butter is heated, add the onion rings and sauté until lightly browned. Remove the onions, place in an oven-proof dish, cover and keep hot in the oven.
Add a little more butter if necessary and cook the apples until golden and cooked through. Remove them from the pan and add them to the onion rings. Keep warm in the oven.
Dip the liver in flour and shake off any excess. Add the remaining butter to the pan. When the butter is hot, cook the liver a couple of slices at a time for about 2 minutes on each side. Do not overcook. Remove the cooked liver to a serving platter and top with the onions and apples.
Serve with mashed potatoes and steamed string beans.
