- Trim any green or stringy bits from the livers and pat them properly dry. Wet livers steam and turn gray.
- Get the butter foaming in a wide pan over medium-high heat and drop in the sage leaves. Lift them out after 30 seconds, once they are crisp.
- Add the livers in one layer, well spaced. Crowding them drops the pan temperature and you lose the crust.
- Sear 90 seconds without moving them, turn, and give them 90 seconds more. They should still give when pressed.
- Lift the livers out to rest. Soften the shallot in the same butter for 2 minutes.
- Add the cream, scrape the base, and let it thicken for a minute.
- Return the livers with any juices, turn once, and serve with the crisp sage on top. They keep cooking off the heat, so err early.
