Calfs Liver with Balsamic Vinegar
- 2 pounds calfs liver
- 1 pound white onions
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 4 bay leaves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon flour
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon white wine
- 5 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Trim the liver of its outer covering, blood vessels, and any blemishes.
- Pat dry, cut in julienne strips (2 x 1/2 x 1/2), and set aside.
- Slice the onions thin, working with the grain.
- In a nonreactive skillet, melt the sugar until it caramelizes, add the onions and bay leaves, and mix well.
- Add 3 tablespoons of olive oil, the salt and pepper, and saute over moderately high heat until the onions are golden brown but not limp.
- Stir in the flour, blending well, add the vinegar and wine, and simmer about 2 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
- Meanwhile, in a skillet large enough to hold the strips of liver in a single layer (use two pans if necessary), heat the vegetable oil, add the liver, and saute, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes.
- With a slotted spoon, drain the liver and transfer it to the sauce, tossing gently until well coated, about 1 minute.
- The sauce should be quite adhesive, not runny.
- Serve immediately with boiled or fried polenta.
