Liver and onions is a dish consisting of slices of liver (usually pork, beef, chicken or, in the United Kingdom, lamb) and onions. The liver and the onions are usually sautéed or otherwise cooked together, but sometimes they may be sautéed separately and mixed together afterwards. The liver is often cut in fine slices, but it also may be diced.[1]
Description
[edit]In the French traditional recipe the liver is fried with butter and bacon.[2] In Catalan cuisine olive oil is used instead of butter, and fried garlic is added to the mixture.[3] In Italian cuisine, the fegato alla veneziana (lit. 'Venice-style liver') recipe includes a dash of red wine or vinegar.[4]
