Method
- Heat a glug of oil in a large frying pan. Add the onion and bacon and fry, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes over a medium-high heat until the onion is golden and the bacon is crisp. For the last 2 minutes add the sourdough pieces and fry, stirring, until golden.
- Meanwhile make the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk the mustard and lemon juice together. Slowly whisk in the oil to make a thick dressing, then season with salt and pepper.
- Turn up the heat and push the onion, bacon and croutons to the edges of the pan to make space for the livers in the centre. Fry the livers for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned on the outside with very little pink inside, then add the sherry. Bubble for a minute over the heat, then taste, season and set aside.
- Put the rocket and parsley in a large bowl and add the warm ingredients from the pan, along with the dressing. Add the lemon zest, toss and serve.
