Beef Liver with Onions in a Slow Cooker
Here's another delicious way to cook liver. Beef liver with onions is best made in a slow cooker — the method has every advantage: the liver braises well, you don't have to hover over the stove, and nothing burns or boils dry. What makes this dish special is that the liver braises in a zesty wine-and-vinegar sauce that plays beautifully off the butter and the liver's own juices. The only seasonings are salt and pepper — nothing extra. One tip: use freshly ground pepper; it's more aromatic.

- It's a good idea to soak the liver before cooking. Put it in a bowl and cover completely with cold water. Leave at room temperature for an hour. 2. Drain the water. Rinse the liver under running water and remove the membranes. 3. Cut it into bite-size pieces — not too small, not too big. 4. Pour the olive oil into the slow cooker bowl and add the butter. Select the "Sauté/Fry" program and let the fats heat up and melt together. 5. Add the prepared liver to the hot fat and fry for 10 minutes, stirring. Leave the lid off during this step. 6. Peel the red onion and cut it into half-moons. Add it to the liver and fry another 5 minutes. 7. Pour in the white wine vinegar and sweet red wine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 8. Switch to the "Stew/Braise" program and cook for 40 minutes. Set a timer so you don't lose track. 9. Prep the parsley: rinse it, pull off the leaves (you won't need the stems), and chop them finely. 10. About 5 minutes before the end, stir in the parsley and taste, adjusting salt and pepper if needed. Serve on its own or with a side. Potatoes, pasta, buckwheat, or rice all pair well. Enjoy!
