Steps
Steps
- 1Trim the livers of any sinew and green-tinged patches, which taste bitter, cut the large lobes in half and pat them dry.
- 2Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a wide frying pan over medium heat and fry the onions for 10 minutes, stirring often, until soft and golden; tip them onto a plate.
- 3Turn the heat to high, add the remaining oil and, once it shimmers, lay in the livers in a single layer.
- 4Fry for 2 minutes without moving them, then turn and fry for 1–2 minutes more, until browned outside but still slightly pink in the centre — overcooked livers turn grainy.
- 5Return the onions, pour in the wine and let it bubble for 1 minute, shaking the pan.
- 6Season with the salt and pepper only now — salted at the start, the livers toughen.
- 7Scatter with the parsley and serve at once.
