foie de veau aux oignons et câpres
2 tablespoons  butter
1/2 medium to large  white onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons  salted capers, rinsed and drained
1 teaspoon  finely minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon  finely minced fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons  all-purpose flour
  salt and freshly ground pepper
250 grams  sliced calf’s liver
1 tablespoon  red wine vinegar
 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh Italian parsley
1.  Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a frying pan. Add onions, salt and pepper. Sauté until onions are wilted. Add capers, garlic and rosemary; continue cooking over medium heat for 5 minutes. Set aside in the frying pan and keep warm.
2.  Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a second frying pan large enough to hold the liver in a single layer. Blend flour with salt and pepper. Dredge liver in flour mixture and shake off excess. Sauté liver over high heat, about 2 minutes per side, until medium rare. Transfer to heated serving plate.
3.  Replace the first frying pan with the onions back over high heat and add vinegar. Bring to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon butter and swirl around. Pour mixture over liver slices. Garnish with parsley.
Yield: 2 servings.
