Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 thick slices bacon (2 ounces), cut into 1-inch pieces
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 to 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, more as needed
1 small head radicchio, halved, cored and thinly sliced
Kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 1/2 pounds calf's liver, sliced 1/4-inch thick
Chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)
Cooked polenta, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, sauté bacon and onion until both are well browned and onions are tender, about 10 minutes. If pan starts to dry out, add a tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Add radicchio and a large pinch of salt and pepper and continue to sauté until radicchio is very tender, about 5 minutes longer. Stir in the honey and vinegar, then transfer mixture to a serving platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
  • Wipe out skillet and add a tablespoon of oil. While it heats, season liver with salt and pepper. Add liver to pan, in batches if necessary, and sauté for about 2 minutes a side over high heat. (Add more oil to pan between batches if necessary.) Liver is done when it is golden on surface but still pink on inside. As pieces cook, transfer them to serving platter on top of radicchio mixture. Garnish with parsley and serve over polenta if desired.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover liver. I had some leftover from a steak dinner and it worked perfectly in this recipe.

I made this dish last night and it was a hit! The liver was cooked perfectly and the bacon and radicchio added a nice smoky and bitter flavor. I served it with mashed potatoes and green beans and it was a complete meal.
