Lambs Liver And Bacon Casserole Food

OLD FASHIONED SLOW COOKED LIVER, BACON AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Wash and slice the liver in to bite size pieces.
• In a large mixing bowl, add the flour and season with salt and pepper. Then add the liver and toss, making sure each piece is coated with flour. When done, take 3 tablespoons of flour and place in a cup and add a little cold water to form a paste. We will use this to thicken the gravy later. Set aside.
• Chop the bacon and slice the onions, mince garlic etc. and over a medium heat, fry off bacon until cooked. Use a slotted spoon and put the cooked bacon on a plate, leaving the bacon fat in the pan.
• Turn the heat up on the pan and add the liver slices. Carefully turn them until they are browned on all sides then remove on to a plate.
• Add the sliced onions, garlic and mushrooms to the pan. You may need to add a drop of olive oil if there is not much fat left from cooking the liver. Gently cook until the onions are soft. If using herbs, add them now.
• Add the bacon and liver back to the pan with the onions and mushrooms and combine. Then add the tomato puree and beef stock. Add the cup of flour water you prepared earlier and gently stir until everything is combined.
• For cooking on the stove top, place the lid on the pan and gently cook on the lowest heat setting you have for about 2 hours or until the liver is tender.
• For cooking in the oven, transfer everything to an ovenproof casserole dish and place in the oven at 300 F or 150 C for approximately 2 hrs 30 minutes.
• For cooking in the slow cooker, transfer everything into your slow cooker and cook on low for 5-6 hours.
• For those of you who would like to make this recipe in your Multi cooker or Instantpot, using the browning setting, saute as the instructions above and then add the broth mixture to the pot. Select MEDIUM Pressure and cook for 35 Minutes. Release the steam and serve!
• When ready, serve hot with some lovely mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables!

LAMBS LIVER AND BACON CASSEROLE RECIPE

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 180°C, 350°F, Gas Mark 4.
• Thinly slice the liver and pat it dry with kitchen paper. Heat the oil in a pan, add the liver, bacon and onion and fry them until the liver is brown and the bacon and onion are soft and just beginning to colour.
• Drain the tomatoes and place them in a casserole dish. Make the tomato juice up to 600ml (1 pint) with water. Pour the liquid over the liver mixture and bring it to the boil, stirring. Add this to the tomatoes and stir in the Lamb Seasoning. Cover and cook in the oven for 30 minutes.
• Blend the cornflour and water together to form a paste and stir it into the casserole. Continue cooking in the oven for about 15 minutes, or until the liver is tender. Taste before serving and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

LIVER AND BACON WITH ONIONS AND GRAVY

Steps:

• Rinse the liver in a colander under cold water and drain well on kitchen paper. Melt half of the butter with the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a high heat.
• Put three tablespoons of the flour in a large bowl and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Coat half the liver in the seasoned flour, shake off any excess, then fry each slice in the hot fat for 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly browned, but not completely cooked through.
• Transfer the slices to a plate and repeat with the remaining liver.
• Reduce the heat and melt the remaining butter in the same pan. Add the sliced onion and cook for a minute or so, stirring to separate the layers.
• Add the bacon to the pan and cook, stirring from time to time, for 8-10 minutes or until the onion is pale golden-brown and the bacon is beginning to crisp.
• Sprinkle the rest of the flour over the onion and bacon and stir it for a minute or so.
• Dissolve the stock cube in the just-boiled water and pour slowly into the pan, stirring constantly.
• Bring to a simmer and cook over a medium heat until the gravy is thickened. Add a dash of tomato ketchup and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Return the liver to the pan with the onion gravy for just 1-2 minutes to warm it through and finish cooking.
• Serve the liver and bacon with some mash and freshly cooked greens.

LIVER & MASH

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C/gas 6. Prick the potatoes all over with a fork, rub with oil and bake directly on the oven shelf for 1 hr 20 mins. Once cooked, leave for 10-15 mins or until cool enough to handle, then slice in half, scoop out the potato flesh and push it through a potato ricer or colander. Cover until needed. (I like to keep the potato skins for another day and stuff them with leftover mash, softened leeks and cheese, and bake until golden and bubbling.)
• Mix the herb butter ingredients together, spread out into a rough log shape on a piece of baking parchment, roll up and twist the ends tightly so it resembles a cracker. Put in the freezer for 10-15 mins to firm up.
• Heat the milk and butter for the mash in a saucepan until the butter has melted and the mixture starts to simmer. Pour this over the potato flesh, mash it and sprinkle over the nutmeg and some seasoning. Keep warm or reheat when serving.
• Heat a large, non-stick pan over a medium-high heat. Season the flour with pepper, then use it to very lightly dust the liver. Pour the oil into the hot pan, season the liver well with sea salt, then fry for no more than 2 mins each side. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil.
• Turn down the heat, but while the oil's still hot, add the pickled onions. As the onions start to caramelise, put them on the plate with the liver. Add the garlic to the pan, which by now should be sufficiently cooled enough not to burn it. Add a little oil to the pan if it looks dry. Once the garlic is starting to soften but not coloured at all, add 4-5 thin slices of the parsley butter and some of the resting juices from the liver plate. Turn off the heat and allow the butter to melt but not colour.
• Heap your mash onto two plates, top with the liver, sliced if you like, and the onions. Then generously drizzle over the herb butter. Serve with a crisp, mustardy salad.

OLD FASHIONED LAMB'S FRY AND BACON WITH ONION AND GRAVY

Steps:

• Add 2tsp. salt to a bowl of water, place the lambs liver in the bowl of salty water and leave to soak in the fridge for 2 hours. Meanwhile, remove the rind from the bacon and cut into large dice and slice the onion. Remove liver from the water, drain or pat dry and remove the skin from both sides by slipping a knife under the skin and peeling it away. Slice the liver thinly into bite-sized pieces, cutting off any sinewy bits. Add 2 Tbsp. of flour to a plate and season well with salt and pepper. Dredge the liver in the flour, coating all over, remove and place on a plate. Heat a frypan over medium heat, add a little oil and cook the onion for a few minutes until starting to brown and soften. Add the bacon and cook for a further 3 minutes or until the bacon is cooked. Remove from the pan. Turn the heat up to medium-high, add some more oil to the pan and place the liver in the pan, leaving room around each piece. Fry, turning, for about five minutes until browned on all sides. Remove from pan and turn down the heat to medium. Add a little extra oil if necessary and the remaining flour and fry stirring for 1 minute. There will be brown, crispy bits on the bottom of the pan, that's fine. Add the stock and stir well to make a gravy. Scrape up all the crispy bits up from the pan into the gravy - that will give it more flavour. Simmer gravy for a few minutes until slightly thickened. Add the bacon mix and liver back into the stock and cook for a further 5-10 minutes or until the liver is cooked through.

LIVER & BACON WITH ONION GRAVY

Steps:

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.
• 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. (see related recipes)
