Ingredients:
- 500g Greenland reindeer liver, thinly sliced
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 4 tablespoons butter or clarified butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (optional)
- Fresh herbs (such as thyme or parsley) for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1- Prepare the reindeer liver by rinsing it under cold water and patting it dry with paper towels. Remove any excess membranes or connective tissues.
2- If desired, lightly coat the reindeer liver slices in flour seasoned with salt and pepper. This step is optional but can help create a crispy exterior when frying.
3- In a large skillet or frying pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
4- Once the butter is melted and hot, add the thinly sliced onions to the skillet. Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
5- In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Place the thinly sliced reindeer liver in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to cook the liver in batches depending on the size of your skillet.
6- Cook the reindeer liver slices for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Be careful not to overcook the liver, as it can become tough and lose its delicate flavor.
7- Once the reindeer liver is cooked, season it with salt and pepper to taste.
8- Serve the pan-fried Greenland reindeer liver hot, garnished with the caramelized onions and fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy this Arctic delicacy with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted potatoes or steamed vegetables.
9- Optional: For an extra burst of flavor, deglaze the skillet with a splash of cognac or brandy after cooking the liver, then drizzle the pan sauce over the liver before serving.
10- Serve immediately and savor the unique flavors of Greenland with this exquisite reindeer liver dish.
