SC - liver (was rare foods at feasts-rant)

[Olwen the Odd]

I have a friend that cooks her's in tomato sauce with potatoes and celery.  
gak

I usually cook mine on top of a thick bed of coursely sliced onions with 
butter and sharp white wine, covered.  I cook it slow on a small flame.  I 
have also done mine on the grill and smoker.  Smoked liver is quite nice.  
You just have to keep it moist (I spritz it with wine).
