Is it normal to feel really nervous about the middle of the liver being raw? I followed a recipe to cook it with onions, but I was so scared of getting food poisoning that I overcooked it completely. Did anyone else struggle with this fear when making it the first time?

Honestly, I am so sleep-deprived from late-night work that I barely have the energy to chop onions. My lazy method is throwing liver and sliced onions in a pan with some ginger-garlic paste and hoping for the best. It takes 8 minutes, tastes decent, and lets me go back to sleep quickly.

In my younger days, we used to cook calves liver and onions at least once a month for vitality. The secret is to caramelize the onions slowly first, then push them to the side and flash-fry the liver slices. Don't worry, with practice, you will get the timing perfectly right.

I manage my PCOS diet carefully and sometimes cook liver with lots of onions for the extra B-vitamins. I just stir-fry it in a tiny bit of coconut oil. However, everyone's body reacts differently to red meat, so please see how it suits your own system.

Let's cut the fuss: slice the liver paper-thin so it cooks in exactly 2 minutes. Fry your onions in butter until they are dark brown, then toss the liver in on high heat. If you overcook calves liver, you are wasting good meat.
