| 1. In a heavy skillet heat together the butter and oil, then add the onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. | 2. Add the pieces of bacon, chopped carrot, and celery, and saute over medium heat until lightly browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. | 3. Add the coarsely ground beef and stir until the meat is coated with fat, then add the minced chicken livers, stir, and cook until the meat browns evenly, about 5 to 7 minutes. | 4. Add the tomato paste, wine, beef stock, bay leaf, and lemon peel, then season with salt and freshly ground pepper and the crushed garlic. | 5. Cover and simmer for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. | 6. Remove the bay leaf and lemon peel, then allow to simmer uncovered until the sauce slightly thickens. | 7.
