it dry and proceed with the recipe—this can mellow the flavor for those who are new to liver. If you prefer a bit more color and sweetness, add a sliced sweet onion along with the yellow onions, or toss in a few sliced mushrooms during the last 5 minutes of cooking the onions. You can also swap some or all of the butter for bacon drippings or lard, which gives the dish a deeper, smokier farmhouse character. For a lighter approach, skip the flour and simply season the liver well, searing it in a hot skillet with butter or oil; the texture will be a bit different, but it’s still satisfying. Leftovers reheat best gently in a covered skillet with a spoonful of water or broth to keep everything moist.
