Milk*What it is
Thinly sliced calf’s liver cooked slowly with caramelized onions in butter and white wine.
Taste translation
If you’re open to organ meats, this is one of the gentlest ways to try liver. The onions make it sweet, soft, and surprisingly easy to love.
Zen's note
Liver scares people but this version is different. The slow-cooked onions make it sweet and tender. Venetians have been eating this for centuries. If you want to go full local, this is your move.
