- Toss the liver in the seasoned flour and shake to remove any excess.
- In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil on a high heat. Add the liver and fry quickly so liver is browned but not cooked through. Set aside.
- In the slow cooker, add the onions, pancetta, sage, tomatoes, stock and seasoning.
- Mix well, then immerse the liver in the mixture. Replace the lid and cook on high for 4 hours or until the liver is tender. Spoon out of the slow cooker and serve with mashed potatoes and green beans.
