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.

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!
