Method
- Heat a nonstick frying pan with half the butter over a medium heat and fry the bacon for 3-4 mins until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside on kitchen paper.
- Pat dry the livers, then toss with 2 tbsp flour and plenty of seasoning. Shake of any excess, then cook in the bacon fat over a medium heat for 1-2 mins each side until browned. Set aside.
- Add the remaining butter to the pan with the onion and cook for 8-10 mins over a medium-low heat until lightly golden. Stir in the bacon and liver.
- Mix the remaining flour with 2 tbsp stock. Transfer the liver mix to a slow-cooker. Set to low, then pour in the remaining stock, the Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf and the flour paste. Stir well, then cook for 6-8 hrs until the liver is tender and the sauce silky. Serve with mash and peas, if you like.
