Why do we always see liver served with onions?

[Popsickle]

I've always wondered why liver is so often served with onions. It seems like every recipe I find pairs these two together. Does anyone know the history or reason behind this classic combination? I'm really curious to uncover the culinary secret behind this pairing!

Liver and onions are a delicious duo for a reason! Onions tame the strong liver flavor with sweetness, offering a textural contrast too - soft liver and crunchy onions. Plus, it's a timeless combination that's been a hit for ages!

Liver and onions are a classic combination because the onions help balance out the strong flavor of the liver, making it more palatable. In my experience, cooking the onions until they caramelize adds a sweet contrast to the savory liver, enhancing the overall taste. Have you tried cooking them this way? It really makes a difference!
