Delia Smith Liver And Bacon Recipes

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 AND BACON KEBABS WITH STUFFING

Steps:

• First cut the lambs' liver into bite-sized pieces, roughly all the same size. Then to make the stuffing, simply combine all the stuffing ingredients together in a bowl and mix thoroughly, with enough milk to bind. Next form the mixture into about 12 balls. Piece one of them on to a flattened skewer, then thread the meats on (liver, bacon, liver, bacon, then another ball of stuffing and so on), filling 4 skewers. Now brush the kebabs liberally with melted dripping or butter and cook them under a fairly hot grill for about 10 minutes, turning and basting evenly at regular intervals. Serve hot, straight from the grill to the table.

LIVER AND BACON

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Transfer bacon to a plate, reserving a small amount of grease in the pan and the rest aside.
• Pour seasoning coating mix into a large resealable plastic bag. Place calves' liver in bag one slice at a time; seal, and toss to coat.
• Cook liver in bacon grease over medium high heat, turning occasionally to brown both sides. Depending on the size of your skillet you may need to work in batches and add more bacon grease. Liver is done when juices run clear. Return bacon to the skillet during the last 2 minutes of cooking to warm through. Serve hot with your favorite side dish.

LIVER & BACON WITH ONION GRAVY

Steps:

• 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.
• 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)
