2large frisee heads
1red onion
¾tspsalt
fresh ground black pepper
½lbbacon
1lbchicken livers
1tspground allspice
3½tbspwine vinegar
Preparation
Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toss the bread cubes with 2 tablespoons of the oil and put on a large baking sheet.
Bake for about 15 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the bread cubes are crisp and golden brown. Let the croutons cool.
In a large bowl, combine the frisée, onion, ½ teaspoon of the salt, and ¼ teaspoon of pepper
In a large nonstick frying pan, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon and pour the fat into a measuring cup.
Add enough of the oil to make ½ cup and reserve. Wipe out the pan.
Heat 1½ tablespoons of the oil in the pan over moderately high heat. Season the chicken livers with the allspice, the remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt, and ⅛ teaspoon of pepper.
Put the livers in the pan, in two batches if necessary, and cook 2 minutes. Turn and cook for about 2 minutes longer, until browned. The livers should still be pink inside.
Remove the livers from the pan and put in a warm spot. Wipe out the pan.
Add the reserved ½ cup fat and the bacon to the pan. Heat over moderately high heat until the bacon is sizzling.
Pour the hot bacon and fat over the salad and toss. Toss in the vinegar and then the croutons.
Put the salad on plates and top with the livers. Enjoy!
