SILENCE OF THE LAMBS : - Liver, Fava Beans and a little Cianti



 
If you love film then you will find it impossible to ignore this one.  Liver, fava beans and a little Cianti.  However this one has a twist, it uses Lambs liver as opposed to the liver Dr Lecter apparantly used (I don't think I need to say what that was).  On the whole I think that it is probabaly a good substitution, unless you wish to be arrested.

Ingredients

1 Onion
2 Lambs Liver
1 750ml bottle of Cianti
Fava beans
Butter
Olive Oil


How to cook it

1. Slice a large onion into thick rings and saute in extra-virgin olive oil over moderately low    heat until deep golden.

2. Remove the onions and raise the heat to medium.

3. Season the liver with salt and pepper and saute in a mix of extra-virgin olive oil and  butter until done to your taste, personally I would suggest rare but some people may want it done a little longer.

4. Remove the liver and deglaze the pan with about 150ml of Cianti.

5  Blanch and shell the fava beans.

6. Fry them with butter until tender.

7. Season with a pinch of salt.

8. Serve pouring some of the glaze over the liver.
