Ingredients
1 egg
Pinch sea salt
1 1/2 pounds calves liver, very thinly sliced
1 cup flour
2 cups fine dry breadcrumbs
1/4 cup butter or vegetable oil
4 large shallots, peeled and diced
Juice and segments of 2 limes
2 teaspoons brown sugar
2 hard cooked eggs
Directions
- Beat the egg with a pinch of salt. Lightly flour the slices of liver, shake off the excess, and dip them first into the beaten egg and then into the breadcrumbs.
- In a large heavy skillet, over a medium high heat, melt the butter and quickly sear the liver until brown on both sides. Turn the liver only once to avoid overcooking. Remove the liver to a platter and cover with loosely tented foil to keep warm.
- To the same skillet, over a low heat, add the shallots and cook 3 to 4 minutes. Add the lime juice and sugar, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Add the lime segments. Pour this mixture over the liver and garnish with slices of hard cooked egg.
- Serve with braised green cabbage.
