preparation time:
20 minutes
serves 4
3 thick slices bacon (3 ounces) cut into 1-inch pieces
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 to 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided and
more as needed
1 small head radicchio, halved, cored and thinly
sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1½ teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 pound calf’s liver, sliced ¼ inch thick
Chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)
Cooked polenta, for serving (optional)
In a
large skillet, sauté bacon first and then onion until both are browned and
onions are tender, about 10 minutes. If pan starts to dry out, add a tablespoon
of 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 then to serving planter on top of radicchio mixture.
Garnish with parsley and serve over polenta, if desired.
