Liver and Onions

Yup! We love liver and onions and that is our meal today.

It wasn't unusual to find liver and onions as one of the meals served for dinner - I think I was the only kid in school that had 2 different dinners cooked just about every night! Unless of course company was coming - then it could be at least 3 different meals - totally complete!

I was raised to enjoy this dish. Mom has low blood pressure and is borderline anemic, so liver was something she had to have. I remember mom having to eat it (doctor’s orders!) 3 times a day for 2 weeks when I was younger. Didn’t bother me none - I loved liver. Write me a prescription for it and I’ll eat it every day! Dad on the other hand - well - he didn’t care if we ate it as long as he didn’t have to.

Dad was the type of guy that didn’t care how many meals were made at the same time. Mom could spend all the money on food - he didn’t care. He always wanted our pantry and freezers full.

When your parents are depression era babies - that is how it is.

We are still like that today - keep everything well-stocked.





I washed my beef liver and dredged in flour.





Heated my pan, heated my oil and skillet fried my liver - seasoned with Kosher salt, fresh ground black pepper, garlic, and parsley.




Prepared my onions and seasoned the same way - when ready just add to the pan.
