lamb liver

🥗Healthier: chicken liver

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier, while margarine is a cheaper fat option.

red wine

🥗Healthier: grape juice

💰Cheaper: white wine

Grape juice provides sweetness without alcohol, while white wine can be less expensive.

1

Chop the large white Spanish onions in half and remove the skins, then dice into thin ribbons.

2

Place the diced onions onto a plate and set aside.

3

In a saucepan, add olive oil and a generous amount of butter, then heat until sizzling.

4

Add the onions to the saucepan, season with sea salt and black pepper, and cook until translucent and soft.

5

Add more butter as needed while frying the onions until nicely caramelized.

6

Drain the fat from the onions and return them to the saucepan, then deglaze with white wine vinegar and fry for another 2-3 minutes before setting aside.

7

Season the lamb's liver generously and dust lightly with bread flour, shaking off excess flour.

8

In a frying pan, add a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil and heat to medium-high.

9

Add the lamb's liver to the pan and cook for about 2 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side.

10

Cook until the liver is medium, with a nice blushing pink inside, then let it rest on a plate for a few minutes.

11

Top the lamb's liver with the caramelized onions.
