Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Sprinkle each slice on both sides with salt and pepper, and dredge it in flour on both sides, shaking off the excess.

  2. Step 2

    Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the slices in one layer. Cook the liver on one side over high heat for 2 minutes or less. Turn the slices over and cook for 2 minutes more for rare.

  3. Step 3

    Transfer the slices to a heated plate or platter. Discard the fat from the skillet.

  4. Step 4

    Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt. Add the capers and vinegars to the skillet and bring to a boil while swirling around. Pour this mixture immediately over the liver, and sprinkle with parsley.

YUM! Was looking for a liver recipe without onions, this turned out to be so quick and easy. Skipped the flour and did ghee instead of butter. Will be in the rotation.
