Liver with red onion
At Bottega di Calabria-you know it well by now-we love to pair Tropea red onion with a myriad of dishes, from appetizers to first courses, from main courses to finger foods; one dish in which the onion is at its best is definitely Liver with Red Onion, a simple-to-prepare, delicious dish that combines the strong flavor of calf's liver with the sweeter flavor of Tropea red onion. Liver is a very nutritious food and particularly recommended for ensuring the supply of essential amino acids, in addition it is considered among the best sources of bioavailable iron; it is also very rich in B vitamins and vitamin D, by the way, which is very rare in foods.

The recipe for liver with red onion
We slice the Tropea red onion into thin rings, while we heat the oil in a nonstick pan, then stew the onion slices seasoning with a pinch of salt and apple cider vinegar.
We lift the onions from the pan and set them aside. Let's lightly flour the liver slices, then place them in the onion cooking juices, cooking them over a low flame. When almost cooked, we add the onions, adjust the salt, then serve with a few lemon slices.
