Irene Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Liver & bacon with onion gravy Prep: 10 mins Cook: 20 mins Easy Serves 2 A nostalgic thrifty dish that's rich and nutritious - serve the gravy drizzled over fluffy mashed potato. Ingredients · 4 rashers smoked streaky bacon · 2 tbsp plain flour, seasoned · pinch dried sage · 6 slices lamb's livers (about 400g/14oz) · 1 tbsp olive oil · 1 red onion, thinly sliced · 300ml beef stock · 2 tbsp ketchup Method 1. Cook the bacon in a large non-stick frying pan until crisp. Meanwhile, mix the flour and sage, if using, and use to dust the liver. Remove bacon from the pan and set aside. Add the oil to the pan and brown the liver for about 1 min on each side. Remove from the pan, then fry the onion until softened. Stir in stock and ketchup, then bubble for 5 mins. 2. Put the liver back in the pan and cook for 3 mins until cooked through. Serve with the bacon broken over the top and some mash. Healthy benefits Liver & bacon is a really nutritious dish – one serving will provide... your day’s iron, zinc, folate and vitamin C. As well as being rich in minerals, liver is a good source of B12, a vitamin which helps your body to use iron. It’s also high in vitamin A, important for healthy skin, hair and eyes. NOTE: If you’re pregnant, avoid eating liver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Oh the memories of bygone days and school dinners, the occasions when they served liver which was invariably blue or green with the texture of boot leather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just happened to pick some up from M&S on Saturday and stored it in the freezer. I don't usually purchase liver of any kind because I'm not supposed to eat it - it can have an effect on my INR levels (I take Warfarin). I do weaken occasionally though.
