Mrs Lincolns Braised Beef Liver
"She braised the whole liver. She larded the liver with bacon and cooked onions in salt pork. I have reworked the recipe a bit for today's liver. They just said herbs so I'm guessing parsley and chives. I'm guessing by the time this book was written that this was THE Mrs Lincoln."
