Preparation: The white wine, carrot, onion, celery, pepper-corns,
cloves, bay-leaf, 1 pinch of salt are covered and boiled slowly for ½
hour.
The liver is skinned, larded, salted and peppered and the cooked wine
with contents poured over. Let stand for 10 hours. After that, roast
the liver in hot butter in the oven for 30 minutes and baste
frequently. During the last 10 minutes, pour the wine in which the
liver had been lying over it and boil. Stir in 1 tablespoonful of
flour and cream and boil again. The liver is served on a hot platter.
The gravy is strained and served separately. Garnish the dish with
lemon slices and parsley.

and pepper, fried quickly until light brown in ⅛ lb. of butter. Flour,
onion, carrot and parsley root and all the spices are added and all
fried in the liver butter a while. Then pour in the red wine or beer
and enough bouillon to cover the liver. Cover and bake in the oven 1½

minute in the ⅛ lb. of butter until light brown and put on a hot

2 minutes on both sides and placed on the platter with the kidney
