Being in deer camp over this last weekend got me to thinking about favorite recipe's that we've served there. A traditional "must serve" is fresh venison liver and onions.

Here's how we fix them:

Start a fire, or use a camp stove to get an iron skillet hot (Medium heat).
Add 2 Tbs olive oil.

Slice 2 Medium onions and fry until brown (carmalized - brings out a unique flavor.)

Set onions aside.

Lower heat on skillet and cook 4 slices of bacon on both sides until it is very crisp.

While bacon is frying, slice liver into 3/4 inch slices.

Cut into cubes and remove all veins and skin.

Mix 1/3 Cup flour, 1/2 tsp seasoning salt and 1/4 tsp pepper in a plastic bag.

When bacon is very crisp, take out of skillet and dran on paper towels, then set aside.

A few at a time, put the cubes of liver in the bag of flour mix and shake well.

Bring skillet back to medium heat and fry liver in the bacon drippings for 6 to 8 minutes (cook gets to sample, take a cube of liver and check for donness.)

Put onions back into skillet, mix into the liver cubes, and reheat to serving temperature.

Once on the plate, garnish with your freshly-made crumbled bacon bits.

Cooked carrots make a nice flavor combination with this dinner.

Enjoy.

Trout,

The yellow Vidalia onion is my favorite. It has lots of sweet onion flavor without being overpowering.
