Mixed Stewed Meat with Onions

How to make the Mixed Stewed Meat with Onions:

Coarsely dice the various meats. Melt the butter and brown the garlic in a casserole. Remove garlic when brown, and add the finely sliced onion. When tender but not brown, add the meat and let it brown evenly. Add half of the white wine and let reduce. Cook the stufato ("rustisciada") for another 10 ins. Add the liver and continue to baste with more white wine as the meats get dry.

Cook for 3 more min. Add salt and pepper. Remove from heat and serve with polenta.
