Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 1/2 pound bacon, thinly sliced
  • 3 apples, peeled and chopped
  • 1/3 cup minced shallots
  • 3/4 pound chicken liver
  • Fine sea salt, to taste
  • Handful fresh thyme, minced, plus extra for garnish
Instructions
  1. Rinse liver and pat dry. With a paring knife, trim away white sinew and chop liver into ½-inch pieces.
  2. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until golden (but not crispy), about 10 minutes.
  3. Transfer bacon to a paper-towel lined plate with a slotted spoon, reserving bacon fat. Keep warm.
  4. Add apples and shallots to the skillet, cover and cook until tender, about 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer apples and shallots to a plate with a slotted spoon.
  5. Add liver and thyme to the skillet. Continue to cook, uncovered, until liver is cooked through but still slightly pink inside, about 6 to 8 minutes.
  6. Add bacon, apples, and shallots back to the skillet. Mix well and season with salt to taste.
  7. Serve immediately with a garnish of minced thyme.
