This Irish classic is warming and hearty and is perfect for sharing with friends before a long day of St. Patrick’s Day fun. Right now, the veal liver is part of our weekly specials, so you can make the most of this exciting deal with this tasty winter warmer.

Ingredients: 1 tbsp. olive oil, 1 clove garlic – minced, 4 large sweet onions – thinly sliced, 1 ½ tbsp. green bell pepper – finely chopped, 1 ½ tbsp. red bell pepper – finely chopped, ½ cup sliced mushrooms, salt, pepper, ¼ cup butter, 1 lb. veal liver, ¼ cup all-purpose flour, 2 cups water, 2 tsp. beef bouillon granules, 1 tbsp. red wine (optional).

Method:

• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, onion, green and red bell pepper, and mushrooms. Cook for about 10 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.
• Season well with salt and pepper, and then push the onion mixture to the side of the skillet.
