Instructions
7 steps- 1
Melt the butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and sugar and fry for 7-8 minutes until the onion is nicely browned, stirring frequently.

Season the onions with salt and pepper, then add the balsamic vinegar and stock - the exact amount will depend on the size of your pan and how quickly the liquid cooks down - and leave it to bubble up for a few seconds. You’re aiming for a nice thick consistency. Take the pan off the heat and keep the onions warm.
- 3
Heat a grill or a griddle pan to high and cook the bacon until crisp at the edges. Keep it warm.
- 4
Season the liver slices with salt and pepper and dust them with flour. Add the oil to another large frying pan and cook the slices of liver over a high heat for about 30 seconds on each side. The liver should be browned on the outside and just cooked through in the middle.
- 5
Serve the liver on warm plates with the bacon and onions, the greens and perhaps some mashed potato.
- 6
Heat the butter over a medium-high heat, add the shallot and fry for a few minutes until softened. Add the cabbage, cover the pan and allow the cabbage to wilt in the heat for a couple of minutes, then add the parsley and season to taste.
- 7
Serve the crispy bacon and liver with the onion gravy and the Italian greens alongside.
