PREPARATION

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350⁰F (175⁰C).
  • Trim the membrane off the liver, and cut it in ½ inch (1-1.5 cm) thick slices. Sprinkle salt on both sides of the liver slices.
  • Heat up the olive oil and butter in a frying pan. Fry liver 2-3 minutes per side. While frying, sprinkle liver over both sides with pepper and thyme.
  • Place the fried liver slices in an oven safe dish. Drizzle lemon juice over the liver.  
  • Cook bacon in the hot frying pan and fry until crispy, then place them over the liver slices. Put the tray in the oven for about 10 minutes.
  • Place the bacon and liver on plates with a generous serving of the confit.
  • Heat butter or oil in a saucepan, add red onions and sauté until slightly browned.  
  • Reduce heat to medium, add the pear, cranberries, and sugar and bring all the ingredients to a boil.
  • Simmer until the cranberries burst, about 10 minutes. Watch carefully so it does not burn.
