Equipment
- skillet
Ingredients
- 2 pound turkey liver
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1/3 tsp black pepper
- 1/3 tsp ginger powder
- 1 tsp salt
Caramelized Onions:
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4 shallots
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 3 tbsp red wine
Instructions
Caramelized Onions:
- Trim the onion root and peel it. Halve, thinly slice it, and separate the onion layers. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Once the oil is hot add onions. Stirring constantly brown it slowly for 15 - 20 minutes. While it is sauteeing season onion with salt. If the onions start to burn reduce the heat.
- When onions are softened, golden brown color adds brown sugar and balsamic vinegar. Continue cooking for 5-7 more minutes until the sugar melts completely and caramelize the onions. Onions will stick to the bottom of the skillet, so to deglaze add a splash of red wine. Cook for 2 more minutes and switch off the heat. Transfer onion to a bowl and set aside.
Pan-fry turkey liver:
- Clean and pat dry turkey liver.
- Transfer pat dried turkey liver lobes to a large mixing bowl. Season it generously with ground coriander, ginger powder, granulated garlic (or powder), salt, and pepper. Toss everything well and leave it at room temperature for a while.
- Heat the skillet with butter. When butter begins to foam - add liver lobes in one layer. Once you see it nicely browned on the bottom side, flip and cook for about 3 minutes on another side. The liver should be creamy on the inside and crisp on the outside. If you like it cooked through then add 30 seconds to the cooking time.
- Serve pan-fried turkey liver warm, garnished with caramelized onion and some fresh dill.
