Decided to be extra brave today and fill up on the best source of Iron-Liver!Now, I have never eaten or cooked liver before so this was a first and I have to admit against all my expectations, it tasted Gorgeous!This is not my recipe but an old traditional one I decided to try.
I did, however, add a splash of cream to the gravy that made it even more delicious. Nothing was left on the plate and I feel better for it too :)

How to make calves' liver and bacon
Tip
Once you've mastered this onion gravy recipe you can use it with lots of dishes.3. Once the potatoes are on, preheat the grill to high. Grill the bacon until crisp and golden, then keep hot. Season the liver on both sides, then lightly coat in the seasoned flour, patting off the excess.
4. Put half the oil in a frying pan over a high heat. Fry half the liver for 30 seconds each side, until browned but pink and juicy in the centre. Lift onto a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the rest of the oil and liver.
6. serve the liver, bacon and gravy alongside some the potatoes and some seasonal veg. I opted for asparagus and carrots..
