Curried calf liver

Even people who don't generally like liver may find this one tasty.

To feed 4 people you need:

1 pound of calf liver

2 medium onions

Garlic, to taste

Curry powder, to taste

Garam masala, to taste

Salt, to taste

Pepper, to taste

Paprika, to taste

4 Roma tomatoes, cut into 1/8 wedges

4 fresh jalapeno peppers, cut into 1/4 wedges, or to taste (not for pepper wimps)

Fresh spinach, a few fistfuls (optional, but I recommend it)

Olive oil, used sparingly

A little milk. I use fat-free Promised Land.

A few fresh asparagus stalks work well in this, too, when they are in season.

Cilantro, fresh, is another option.

If you have cracker crumbs or flatbread crumbs that you need to use, this is good for them, too.

Combine all ingredients in an appropriately deep skillet and sautee until liver and onions are tender. Have some bread or tortillas handy to mop up the sauce/drippings.
