Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and pepper.
  2. Pat the sliced calf's liver dry and dredge each piece in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  3. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the floured liver slices to the skillet in a single layer and brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove liver from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  5. Reduce heat to medium. Add the thinly sliced onion to the same skillet and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet; cook for another 2-3 minutes until mushrooms are tender and lightly browned.
  7. Stir in the undiluted mushroom soup, chopped parsley, and basil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  8. If a thinner sauce is desired, stir in a splash of milk.
  9. Return the browned liver slices to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
  10. Cover the skillet and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the liver is thoroughly heated through.
  11. Serve immediately over cooked noodles, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired.
