Boiled Beef Liver and Rice

A stew of beef liver, rice and bacon.

Soak one and one-half pounds of liver in cold water for half an hour to remove the blood, boil it slowly in three pints of water together with one-half pound of rice, add an onion, a sprig of parsley, and when the liver and rice are nearly cooked add pepper and salt to taste, three tablespoonfuls of vinegar and a slice of bacon cut in pieces. Remove the liver, cut it in slices and return them to the stew till all are sufficiently done. Serve hot.
