One of my brothers in law, “Useless Kalone”, stopped by yesterday and, instead of paying me the money he owes me he gave me 5lbs of fresh cow’s liver. I think he thinks we’re even now; which will make this some of the most expensive cow’s liver on the planet. Read more He isn’t called “Useless Kalone” for nothin. I love fresh cow’s liver. This lot is about as far from calf’s liver as it gets but it looks healthy and, if fixed right, should be delicious. I got this recipe from my dad’s dad, Jimmy. Jimmy was a 100% Italian who got off the boat at Ellis island at the tender age of 15; and with his older brother of 17, made his way in the new world. Being European, Jimmy had his own ideas about how liver should be cooked; and this recipe reflects that. See less

How to make it
- • Remove all veins and gristle and peel off the outer membrane from the liver. Slice it into 1’ x 1’ cubes. If you just must have your liver in strips that will work but cubes are better.
- • Place in a bowl & cover with milk. This needs to set for at least 30 minutes and longer is better.
- • Put the bacon in a BIG, heavy bottom frying pan, that you already got heated up good, with 2 Tbs oil & 1/3 stick of butter, ± on the oil & butter depending on how many onions you’re frying.
- • When the bacon has softened a bit add the onions and fry, turning often. See Photo
- • Remove the bacon & onions, using a spatula or slotted spoon, to a covered bowl & keep warm.
- • Remove the liver from the milk & allow o drain well.
- • Add 2 Tbs oil & 1/3 stick of butter to the pan.
- • Dredge ½ the liver cubes in the wheat germ and place in the hot pan.
- • Cook for 2 – 3 minutes per side. The cubes should still be a little pink in the centre when done. Remove to a paper towel & keep warm.
- • Add another 2 Tbs oil & 1/3 stick of butter to the pan.
- • Do the second batch of liver cubes just like the first.
- • Place all of the liver cubes on a suitable platter or in a large bowel & cover with the onions. Serve hot.
- You can gussy this up with some parsley or like that & I sometimes serve it with a side of sour cream or fresh salsa. For some reason, this always gets served with mashed potatoes at our house.
