Ingredients

For the potatoes
  • 500 g kipfler potatoes, blanched
  • 60 ml (¼ cup) vegetable oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 50 g unsalted butter
  • salt and black pepper
For the liver
  • 100 g unsalted butter
  • 800 g fresh veal liver, ask the butcher for a liver for 4 people
  • 2 slices sourdough, diced into ½ cm cubes
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 80 ml (⅓ cup) red wine vinegar
  • salt and black pepper
  • 2 heads frisée, light green parts only

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice potatoes into 3mm rounds. Set aside.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and cook until crisp on both sides. Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute or until fragrant. Add the parsley and butter, season and allow the butter to foam. Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish.
  3. Wipe the frying pan clean and return to a medium-high heat with half the butter for the liver. Add the veal liver and pan-fry until caramelised all over and cooked to your liking. Remove to a plate to rest. Add the diced sourdough croutons to the pan and cook until crisp, add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper and remove croutons to a plate to cool.
  4. Deglaze the pan with red wine vinegar. Cook, simmering, until reduced to half then whisk in the remaining butter until the sauce emulsifies.
  5. To serve, divide liver and potatoes between plates. Toss the frisée in the sauce and serve on the side with the sourdough croutons. Spoon the remaining pan sauce over the liver.
