Resztelt maj (a liver dish from Hungary)

Liver is not very popular in the US, except with anemic people who have it prescribed as medication. In fact, when I bought the ingredients for this, the cashier lady started chatting with me once she saw I was buying liver. She admitted that although liver is unpopular with her family, she got absolutely addicted to it after her doctor recommended she ate some.

Ingredients
1 pound beef liver
1 cup milk
3 yellow onions
oil
black pepper
salt to taste

Preparation
Soak the liver in the milk for one hour, keeping it covered in the fridge.

After the liver is ready, clean and slice the onions. Add 1 tbsp of oil to a saucepan and add the onions. Heat on low-medium heat, stirring occasionally until the onions are soft and lightly browned. Do not fry the onions, they are supposed to caramelize in their own juices. This process will take a while, but don't get impatient!

While cooking the onions, slice the liver into thin slices. Cooling it down in the freezer until it solidifies a bit can help.

Add the liver to the caramelized onions. Cook on medium-high, stirring occasionally until completely cooked through. The milk will keep the liver pieces from becoming chewy or hard.

Spice with black pepper and salt in the end. May use vegeta (Hungarian spice) as well.

Serve with rice pilaf and pickles, or anything else you think would go well with it!
