Ingredients
300 g (101⁄2oz) calves liver, sliced about 2 cm (3⁄4in) thick
300 g (101⁄2 oz) veal nut (noix, or topside), sliced about 2 cm (3⁄4 in) thick
150 g (5 oz) pancetta, sliced 1⁄2 cm (1⁄4 in) thick
Plain (all-purpose) flour
Fresh sage leaves
2–3 cloves garlic, chopped
300 ml (10 fl oz) dry white wine
Salt and pepper
Preparation
Cut the liver, veal and pancetta into cubes. Flour the liver and veal.Then, alternating, thread the liver, sage, veal and pancetta on skewers. Take a pan large enough to hold all the skewers at once and in a bit of butter and oil, brown the skewers of meat one or two at a time on all sides, then set aside on a dish.
Add the garlic to the pan with a few more sage leaves. Let the garlic become golden (do not burn it) then add the wine and scrape all the bits in the bottom of the pan.When it bubbles add the skewers, salt and pepper and let them cook, covered, for about 20 minutes on low heat.
If it seems too dry before cooking is finished add a bit of veal or chicken stock.

Hot Tips
Choosing and prepping asparagus
Choose asparagus with tight, well-formed heads and avoid any with thin woody, dry and dirty stems. Snap off the woody end of the asparagus by holding the spear in the middle and bend the bottom until it finds its natural snapping point. Discard the woody ends, or use in a stock.
Glossary
