INGREDIENTS

• 1 pound yellow onions chopped
• 1/2 pound organic bacon diced
• 1.5 pound organic liver (1#beef, 1/2 pound lamb) cut into 1 x 1/2 pieces.
• 2 TBL duck fat (or additional bacon fat)
• 5 TBL  butter room temp
• 2 TBL goat butter room temp
• 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
• 4 tsp balsamic vinegar (or 2 tsp if a reduced balsamic)
• 4 tsp fresh rosemary chopped  (or 3 tsp dried)
• 1.5 tsp garlic powder (or 5-6  tsp minced fresh garlic)
• 1.5 tsp nutmeg
• 1.5 tsp cinnamon
• 2 tsp mineral rich sea salt (Baja Gold, Redmond Real Salt, Celtic)
• 1/3 tsp ground pepper
• All ingredients are recommended to be organic. If this is not possible, the most important ingredient to be sure that you consider high quality, is the liver.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Saute bacon in a large skillet or pan, over medium heat. When done, scoop bacon out with a slotted spoon. Set it aside. 
2. Add onions to the pan and saute.
   *Bacon produces a varying amount of fat per type and batch. If there is not enough bacon fat in the pan to keep the onions coated, so as to keep them from drying out or sticking, then add the duck fat.
3. If using fresh garlic: add and saute when the onions are nearly cooked through, being careful not to let it burn.
4. Add the cut pieces of liver. Stir together. Let the liver cook, stirring occasionally, until it is lightly cooked through. This will only take a couple of minutes.
5. Transfer onions, liver and bacon to a large bowl or keep in the same pan/pot if the sides are high enough to use with an immersion blender.
6. Add the butter(s). Stir....
