Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil plus 4 tablespoons
  • 6 Spanish onions, cut into 1/8th-inch dice
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar plus 4 tablespoons
  • 12 thin rounds pancetta
  • 1 1/2 pounds young calf's liver, sliced 1/2-inch thick and soaked in milk overnight
  • 1/2 cup seasoned flour
  • 1 bunch Italian parsley, chopped to yield 1/4 cup

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

In a 12 to 14-inch saute pan, heat oil over medium heat and add onions. Slowly cook the onions until they are soft and starting to turn light golden brown, about 10 to 12 minutes. Add balsamic vinegar and continue cooking for 20 minutes until very soft and tan, that is, caramelized. Meanwhile, place pancetta rounds on a cookie sheet lined with parchment and bake 8 to 10 minutes, until crispy and brown. Remove and place on a plate with paper towels to drain.

Place a 12 to 14-inch saute pan over high heat. Remove liver from milk, pat dry and dredge in seasoned flour. Pour remaining olive oil in pan and add liver, 3 pieces at a time, and quickly cook until dark golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and cook 1 minute on other side. Continue until all liver is done. When last liver is out, add caramelized onions to liver pan and splash with remaining vinegar. Replace liver in pan and cook until hot. Add parsley and put on a plate, placing pancetta over top.

    DONT FOLLOW THE RECIPE FOR THE COOKING OF THE LIVER, treat it much more delicate.

    I followed the recipe to the T. HOWEVER, when cooking the livers, I run a non-stick pan on a glasstop electric stove and burned the livers easily on the recommended recipe heat and time. I reduced to medium heat, cooked the 1/2 inch calf liver for 45 seconds ROUGHLY ---> probably less, on each side, and they came out perfectly. When they get "bloody" on one side, turn them over. Once they get slightly brown on the other side, they are done! Also, the onions I sauteed for a MUCH longer time. In my honest opinion, Mario did not write this recipe. Other than that, I loved it, even after adding my own seasonings to it. I added mushrooms also, because I had so much time. Came out wonderful. WOW i HATE giving mario a 2 on this, who wrote this crap???

    Yes! Only Mario could make "liver and onions" taste this good.
