Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter or more oil
  • 1 pound calf or lamb liver, cut into chunks
  • Flour for dredging
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 eggs
  • Parsley-Onion Condiment (page 596)

Method

  • Put 2 tablespoons each of the butter and oil in a large nonstick skillet and place over medium-high heat.
  • When the butter has melted, dredge each of the pieces of liver in the flour, shaking to remove the excess, and add them to the skillet.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper and brown well on all sides, until the meat is done to your liking (I recommend medium for this dish).
  • Turn off the heat and transfer the liver to a warm plate.
  • Wipe out the pan with paper towels and return it to the stove over medium-high heat.
  • Add the remaining oil and butter to the skillet and, when the butter melts, fry the eggs, sprinkling them with salt and pepper as they cook.
  • Serve a portion of the liver with an egg and the condiment.
  • In step 2, leave the eggs quite underdone; top them with a couple of 1/8- to 1/4-inch-thick slices of cheese and run under the broiler until the cheese melts.
  • Serve as directed.
