  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F).

    Cut the baguette into 16 slices, each about 1 cm (1/2 in) thick.

  3. 3

    Brush both sides of the slices with 2 tbsp of the olive oil and lay them on a baking sheet.

  4. 4

    Toast until golden at the edges, 8-10 min, turning the slices once halfway. Set aside.

  5. 5

    Melt the butter with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.

  6. 6

    Cook the onion until soft and translucent, about 6 min.

  7. 7

    Add the livers and sage. Cook, stirring, until the outsides are no longer pink, 4-5 min.

  8. 8

    Pour in the wine, add the anchovy fillets and simmer until the livers are cooked through with no pink inside (74 °C / 165 °F) and the pan is nearly dry, 6-8 min.

    Discard the sage. Chop the contents of the pan coarsely, then stir in the capers.

  10. 10

    Season with salt and black pepper.
