Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 6 servings

Ingredients

1/2 pound sliced Black Forest bacon or other lightly salted bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 large onions, halved lengthwise and thinly slivered
2 pounds calf's liver, sliced 1/2-inch thick
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
3 tablespoons chicken broth
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    1. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp but not burned. Using a slotted spoon, remove bacon to paper towels to drain. Set aside, covered with foil to keep warm.

    Step 2

    2. In the same skillet, cook the onions over medium heat until wilted and golden, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a bowl, cover and keep warm.

    Step 3

    3. Cook the liver, 2 slices at a time, for about 1 1/2 minutes per side for medium-rare, adding butter to the skillet if needed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Step 4

    4. Cut each liver slice on the diagonal into 6 pieces. Arrange on a serving platter and cover loosely with foil.

    Step 5

    5. Add vinegar and broth to the skillet; bring to a boil, scraping up any brown bits. Add the reserved onions and toss over medium heat for 1 minute to warm through; spoon over the liver and top with bacon. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
