Method

  • Thinly slice the onion and let sit for 5 minutes to bring out their health-promoting properties.
  • Turn stove to medium. Heat 3 TBS low-sodium chicken broth in a stainless steel skillet.
  • When the broth begins to steam, add onions, cover and Healthy Sauté for 4 minutes.
  • When the onions have lost most of their water content and have become dry, push them to the side of the skillet, leaving space in the center.
  • Heat the second 3 TBS broth in the center of the skillet, leaving the heat on medium.
  • When the broth begins to steam, add the sliced calf's liver and Healthy Sauté uncovered for 3 minutes.The pieces will be browned on one side, and the liver will release liquid.
  • Turn the Liver pieces over and brown the other side for 3 minutes. When the liquid has evaporated, the liver is done.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and drizzle the liver and onions with balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, garlic and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Transfer to a serving plate and serve immediately.
