This recipe was inspired by a dish Regina’s nonagenarian grandmother and aunt always requested at a local eatery.
If you’ve never tried lamb’s fry, then this is a perfect introduction. Paired with mushrooms, bacon, onion and capsicum and served in a sweet-savoury, marsala sauce, this recipe is pure deliciousness on sour-dough toast.
An extra bonus, liver is a power pack of many nutrients important to good health, which might go some way to explain the longevity of her relatives.

Method
To Make Dish
1
Remove the skin of the liver, cut into 1cm slices and then each slice into halves or thirds (you can ask the butcher to do this for you).
2
On a plate mix flour with ¼ tsp salt and good grind of pepper and lightly coat the liver in flour.
3
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to a large frypan and fry the liver for about 1½ minutes each side.
4
Set aside the liver on a plate.
5
You just want to brown each side, it may not be completely cooked through.
6
Add another tablespoon of olive oil and a tablespoon of butter to a pan and fry the onions until they are about to turn golden.
7
Add the thyme and chopped bacon.
8
Fry till bacon is cooked through (about 4 minutes) and add the mushrooms and capsicum and fry till they are cooked.
9
Add ¼ cup of Marsala wine, Worcestershire sauce, water and bring to a gentle simmer, add the liver back in and heat through.
10
The key is too just cook the liver through (avoid overcooking it as it gets dry).
11
Add ½ cup of chopped parsley, additional ½ tsp salt (if needed), ground pepper and ¼ cup cream (optional) and stir through.
12
Thicken with cornflour if necessary.
13
Serve on toasted sourdough and garnish with parsley.
14
Optional: Instead of adding cream try a dollop of sour cream when serving.
