Italian Liver with Tomatoes, Capers & Basil
Ingredients
Food Safety
Before you start, wash all surfaces and your hands with soap and warm water, and remember to wash your hands, utensils and cutting boards after they touch raw meat or eggs. Avoid cross-contamination by using a different cutting board for your meat and other ingredients. Make sure you’re cooking to safe temperatures and chilling any leftovers within two hours.

Steps
Clean livers by separating into lobes, then trim of all fat and connective tissues. Cut large lobes in half.
Melt butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add tomatoes and garlic. Saute, stirring often, until tomatoes start to soften a little, about 5 min. If garlic starts to brown, lower heat.
Add livers and capers. Pour in about 2 tablespoon (30 mL) of liquid from the caper bottle. Sprinkle with basil. Stir gently until livers are done as you like, 5 to 7 min. Stir in the vinegar and serve over fresh spinach, rice or noodles. Sprinkle with fresh basil.
