Guest guest Posted April 21, 2003 Report Share Posted April 21, 2003 I recommend to slightly saute it in butter - do not let teh temperature go too high - the slices should be between 1/4 and 1/2 inch thick - the liver needs to be still pink inside - right at the end sprinkle with fresh parsley - and squeeze a lemon on top of it in your plate. It is also very great grilled, but here again make sure you do not overcook it because it becomes very dry very quickly. Here again, lemon juice on top is great.
