⏱ Time
According to the thickness of the slices, from 5 to 10 minutes

🥘 Ingredients

A calf's liver, flour, a bunch of savoury herbs, including parsley; when liked, 2 minced shalots; 1 teaspoonful of flour, 1 tablespoonful of vinegar, 1 tablespoonful of lemon-juice, pepper and salt to taste, 1/4 pint water.

👨‍🍳 Method

Procure a calf's liver as white as possible, and cut it into slices of a good and equal shape. Dip them in flour, and fry them of a good colour in a little butter. When they are done, put them on a dish, which keep hot before the fire. Mince the herbs very fine, put them in the frying-pan with a little more butter; add the remaining ingredients, simmer gently until the herbs are done, and pour over the liver.

Simple, sustaining, and surprisingly modern

I tried my hand at Calf's Liver Aux Fines Herbes & Sauce Piquante this week, and I must say, the humble calf's liver has never tasted so elegant. I found the combination of the tangy sauce and the finely chopped herbs to be a revelation, but the real surprise was how the shalots, when minced and added to the sauce, brought a subtle, oniony sweetness that balanced the acidity beautifully. It was a delightful dance of flavors that I hadn't expected from such a simple dish. This recipe is perfect for the weeknight cook who wants to elevate their midweek meal without spending hours in the kitchen. The key is to have your herbs finely chopped and your mise en place ready, as the cooking time is brief. The result is a dish that feels both rustic and refined, a true testament to the timelessness of Mrs. Beeton's recipes. I served it with some boiled potatoes and steamed greens, and it was a comforting, satisfying meal that I look forward to enjoying again soon.
