@TheMemphisVette - I agree with you. I won't go near this dish!

When I was growing up my parents loved it, so my mom made it frequently. She made a hamburger for my brother and me. When we went out to eat, if it was on the menu, she would order it.

Luckily DH hates it too! I don't think my children know what it is. It was one of his mom's favorite dishes too! I never saw his stepmother eat it or serve it!

If you do eat Liver & Onions, you will want to try this recipe!

CALVES LIVER AND ONIONS

4 Tablespoons EVOO (divided)
1 Cup thinly sliced onions (you can’t have too many)
¼ tsp ground sage

1 lb calf liver cut into ½” strips (across) **
Salt & pepper to taste

2 Tablespoons white wine or broth
1 Tablespoon chopped parsley. (optional)

Heat 2 Tbsp EVOO in large skillet.  Add onions.  Cook over med heat stirring frequently for 8 minutes.  Stir in sage and cook for 2 more minutes, until golden brown & caramelized.  Remove from pan and set aside.

**Pat liver dry and cut in strips.  Cutting when just thawed enough to cut and then thawing makes the job more pleasant.  Season with s&p.** 

Add 2 Tbsp EVOO to pan and heat to med.  Saute liver until browned on all sides, 2-3 minutes.  Cooks quickly!

Stir in onions and cook with liver for 2 minutes. 

Pour white wine in skillet and boil 1 minute, scraping any browned bits off  bottom of pan. 

Serve over rice and sprinkle with parsley.

@beach-mom    I wouldn't even eat when my mom cooked liver.  I didn't even like the smell of it cooking.   I would go over to my neighbors or my grandmother's house.   My ex loved Liver & onions.  I told him if he wanted liver and onions to go to a restaurant.

i had a cat who loved raw beef liver.  I made an exception for him but I gagged every time I fed it to him😉

@Krimpette   lol.  I did the same thing.   See my response to beachmom

I loved liver and onions the way my mom it.  It was delicious.  I never liked it the way anyone else made it.  She always did the liver & onions with rice & Lima beans as the side dish.

I love calves liver and onions and fried chicken livers w/ bacon. Of course, these aren't healthy dishes at all so I eat them sparingly. I try to do them in a non stick pan to cut down on the oil.

Enjoyed a KFC liver meal for lunch today.

Wouldn't touch it, wouldn't have it in my kitchen. Gross.

Brings back a lot of bad memories. I was punished (as a child) because of certain foods I hated to eat.. Mom was a believer of the clean plate and would usually load my plate up w/ food.

Never in a million years would I eat liver and onions !
