   6      tablespoons   balsamic vinegar -- divided

     1/2  cup           seasoned flour
     1/4  cup           chopped Italian parsley
 

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a 12- to 14-inch sauté pan, heat 4 tablespoons oil over medium heat and add onions. Slowly cook the onions until they are soft and starting to turn light golden-brown, about 10 to 12 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar and continue cooking for 20 minutes until very soft and tan, that is, caramelized. Meanwhile, place pancetta rounds on a cookie sheet lined with parchment and bake 8 to 10 minutes, until crispy and brown. Remove and place on a plate with paper towels to drain. Place a 12- to 14-inch sauté pan over high heat. Remove liver from milk, pat dry and dredge in seasoned flour. Pour remaining olive oil in pan and add liver, 3 pieces at a time, and quickly cook until dark golden-brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and cook 1 minute on other side. Continue until all liver is done. When last liver is out, add caramelized onions to liver pan and splash with remaining vinegar. Replace liver in pan and cook until hot. Add parsley and put on a plate, placing pancetta over top. Source: MOLTO MARIO with Mario Batali From the TV FOOD NETWORK - (Show # MB-1D11)
