Instructions
- Mise En Place
Gather and measure ingredients; set out knife, board, bowl, towels, plate, skillet, tongs, and spoon. · 1 min
What to look for: All ingredients and tools are ready on the work surface.
- Soak Liver
Slice the pork liver into 1 cm slices, place in a bowl, cover with milk, and soak for 45 minutes in the refrigerator. · 45 min

- Season And Flour
Drain the liver, pat very dry, season with salt, black pepper, and marjoram, then dust both sides lightly with wheat flour. · 5 min

- Caramelise Onion

What to look for: The onion is soft, glossy, and golden brown without burnt edges.
- Hold Onion
Transfer the golden onion to a plate, leaving the flavored lard in the skillet for frying the liver. · 1 min
What to look for: Most onion is off the pan and the skillet still has hot fat.
- Fry Liver
Fry the floured liver in the same skillet for 2 minutes per side, working in a single layer and avoiding crowding. · 4 min
When it is done: The center may be slightly pink, and pork liver should reach 63°C / 145°F internally.
- Finish Together

When it is done: The liver is hot throughout and still tender when pressed.
- Serve Immediately
Serve the pork liver and onion immediately on warm plates, spooning the pan juices over the top while the slices are tender. · 1 min
