Steps:

• Saute bacon until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels. Crumble and set aside. In hot bacon drippings, saute onion until tender -- about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and chicken livers; saute until they are golden brown -- about 5 minutes. Add wine, salt, pepper and Tabasco; simmer, covered, 2-3 minutes. Serve over rice. Sprinkle crumbled bacon over top.

Steps:

• Heat half the butter in a heavy saucepan and add the onions. Cook, stirring, until they start taking on a little color. Add celery, carrots and half the garlic. Cook briefly, stirring, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon flour. Stir to blend.
• Add wine, broth, thyme, bay leaf, parsley sprigs, salt and pepper and bring to the boil. Let simmer 20 minutes. Line a sieve and pour in the sauce. Strain, pushing through as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids. There should be about 1/4 cup.
• Meanwhile, pick over the livers, cutting away and discarding the connecting membranes. Cut the livers in half and then into quarters. Drain thoroughly in a sieve.
• Blend the remaining 1 cup of flour, salt, pepper and half the sage. Dredge the liver pieces in the mixture and shake off excess. Line a large mixing bowl with a large sieve and have it ready for draining the livers.
• Heat about one-third of the oil in a heavy skillet. When it is hot add one-third of the livers. Cook, turning the pieces so that they brown evenly. Cook 2 to 3 minutes until brown and crisp on the outside. Drain.
• Add another third of the oil. When it is hot add another third of the livers. Repeat, draining the livers as necessary and cooking until they are all brown and crisp on the outside.
• Heat the remaining tablespoon of butter in a casserole and add the remaining tablespoon of sage and remaining half teaspoon garlic. Cook briefly and add the sauce. Bring to a boil and let simmer about 1 minute. Add the livers and cook to heat thoroughly. Stir in chopped parsley and serve.
