Grilled Calf Liver Kabobs With Wilted Spinach Salad image

I imagine this won't be one of Zaar's most popular recipes. However for the liver and spinach lovers out there, this is fantastic! I got this recipe from the Omaha Steaks Meat cookbook and made only a few changes. I have to admit, I'm submitting this in part because my sister hates liver! She's a new member to Zaar, and even though we're grown, I still like to gross her out occasionally!

  • For the kabobs- Wrap each piece of liver with a strip of bacon and thread onto skewer, alternating with the tomato and onion pieces.
  • Each skewer should have 3 pieces of liver, 2 pieces of onion and 2 cherry tomatoes.
  • Grill kabobs over medium high heat for 5 to 6 minutes on each side until the liver is cooked and the bacon and onions begin to brown.
  • Keep warm while preparing the salad.
  • For the wilted spinach salad- Heat reserved bacon drippings, add the shallots or green onions and cook for about 2 minutes.
  • Reduce heat slightly, and whisk in the mustard, balsamic vinegar and oil.
  • Add the spinach, toss with the dressing and heat for 1 to 2 minutes, just until spinach begins to wilt.
