Serves 4
Ingredients
1 lb  calf’s liver, cut in 1/4-inch (6-mm) thick slices (450 g)
1 cup  all-purpose flour (250 ml)
Salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons  extra-virgin olive oil (divided) (45 ml)
2 tablespoons  unsalted butter (30 ml)
1 Spanish onion, halved, sliced in 1/4 inch (6-mm) thick slices
1/4 cup (60 mL) balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons  finely chopped flat-leaf parsley (30 ml)

Directions
In a bowl, combine flour, salt and pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons (30 mL) oil in a large, heavy frying pan over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add butter; let it foam and subside.

Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, dredge liver slices in the flour mixture and saute until browned, about 4 minutes.
Transfer liver to a warm plate and keep warm.

Add remaining oil to the pan and when hot, add onion and saute until golden and very soft, about 10 minutes. Add vinegar, salt and pepper.

Place liver on onions. Reduce heat; cook just until liver is hot, about 5 minutes.
Divide among 4 plates, sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Serves 6

Ingredients
6 Veal Liver Slices
to taste: salt and freshly ground pepper
flour
4 tablespoons butter 60ml
2 tablespoons vegetable oil 30ml
½ cup beef or chicken stock 125ml
1 tablespoon soft butter 15ml
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley 30ml

Directions
Season the Veal Liver Slices with salt and pepper.
Dip the slices in flour, then vigorously shake off all but a fine dusting.
In a heavy 12 inch (30cm) skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter with the oil over a high heat.

When the foam subsides, sauté the liver quickly for 2-3 minutes on each side, turning the slices with kitchen tongs.
Remove the liver to a heated platter and cover loosely to keep warm.
Working quickly, pour off almost all the fat from the skillet, leaving just enough to film the bottom.
Add beef or chicken stock and cook over high heat, stirring constantly and scraping in any brown bits that cling to the pan.
Continue to cook until the stock is syrupy and has been reduced to about ¼ cup.

Remove the pan from the heat and swirl in 1 tablespoon (15ml) of soft butter and a few drops of lemon juice.
Pour the sauce over the liver, sprinkle with parsley and serve at once.
