About the Recipe

Ingredients

Lamb’s Fry and Bacon (Classic TV Style)

Ingredients (Serves 2-3):

  • 400g lamb liver, sliced (lamb’s fry)

  • 4 rashers of bacon, chopped

  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tbsp plain flour

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 cup beef stock

  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional)

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Milk or water, for soaking liver (optional but recommended)

Preparation

Instructions:

1. Prep the liver (optional but recommended):

  • Place the lamb’s fry in a bowl and cover with milk or water.

  • Soak for 1–2 hours in the fridge to mellow the flavor and remove bitterness.

  • Drain and pat dry with paper towel.

2. Dust the liver:

  • In a bowl, toss the liver slices in flour seasoned with salt and pepper. Shake off the excess.

3. Cook the bacon:

  • In a large frying pan over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil and cook the bacon until golden and crispy. Remove and set aside.

4. Cook the onions and garlic:

  • In the same pan, add butter and cook onions over medium heat until soft and golden (about 8–10 minutes).

  • Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Remove and set aside with the bacon.

5. Sear the liver:

  • Add a little more oil if needed. Fry the liver slices in batches over medium-high heat for 1–2 minutes per side—just until browned but still tender inside.

  • Don’t overcrowd the pan or overcook. Remove liver and rest briefly.

6. Make the gravy:

  • Lower the heat. Deglaze the pan with a splash of beef stock, scraping up any browned bits.

  • Return onions and bacon to the pan, pour in remaining stock and Worcestershire sauce.

  • Simmer for 5–8 minutes to reduce slightly.

7. Combine and serve:

  • Return liver to the pan just to warm through (1–2 minutes).

  • Season to taste, garnish with parsley, and serve hot.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Mashed potatoes or creamy polenta

  • Steamed greens (like peas, beans, or spinach)

  • Crusty bread to mop up the gravy
