Sear the Liver: Start by sautéing the liver in extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). You only need to brown it slightly on the outside; then, remove it from the pan and set it aside.
Aromatics: Add a bit more oil to the pan and brown the garlic cloves. I prefer to cut them in half so I can remove them later, but if you enjoy the flavor, feel free to mince them finely.
The Onions: Add the julienned onion to the pan, season with salt, and let it soften (poach) until translucent.
Deglaze: Return the seasoned liver (salt and peppered) to the pan. Over high heat, pour in the white wine. Allow the alcohol to evaporate and let the liquid reduce.
Seasoning: Stir in the onion powder and bay leaves. Taste and adjust the salt if necessary.
Simmer: Let everything cook together for about 10 minutes.
Serve: Your liver and onions are ready to be plated!
Notes
Liquid Control: If the wine evaporates too quickly, you can add a small splash of broth or water to keep the dish moist.Flavor Balance: Since liver has a very bold flavor, I like adding bay leaves, onion powder, and pepper. The natural sweetness of the sautéed onions helps balance the intensity of the organ meat.Black Squid Ink Tortillas (Yields 6)
