Whisky Cream Calf's Liver

Hearty and tasty, and a bit indulgent too, this Whisky Cream Calf's Liver makes an excellent lunch after a morning rugby practise, both feeding you well and filling your iron needs! Happy Wednesday!

Ingredients (serves 1):

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

½ tablespoon olive oil

a large onion

2 fluffy sprigs fresh oregano

1 (200-gram/7-ounce) calf’s liver

a heaped tablespoon plain flour

1/4 teaspoon fleur de sel or sea salt flakes

1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

1/4 cup good quality Single Malt Scotch Whisky

1/3 cup crème fraîche or sour cream

1 teaspoon demerara sugar

a couple of tablespoons water

In a large, deep frying pan, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat.

Finely chop the onion, and add to the pan. Cook, 2 minutes, until softened. 

Finely chop oregano, stalks and leaves, and add to the pan as well. Cook, another minute.

Increase heat to medium-high. Pat calf’s liver dry, and  sprinkle with flour on both sides. Shake off excess flour, and add to the pan. Cook, about 2 minutes on each side until just browned. Season both sides well with fleur de sel and black pepper.

Once well-browned on each side, transfer calf’s liver to a plate. Keep warm.

Add Whisky to the frying pan. Immediately and carefully ignite with a match, to flambé. Allow flames to die down, and stir in crème fraîche,until you have a nice, pale brown sauce. Add demerara sugar, cooking until dissolved. Stir in a little water to loosen the sauce, and return calf’s liver to the pan, a couple of minutes.

Serve Whisky Cream Calf's Liver hot with fluffy white rice, sprinkled with chopped oregano.
