Preparation steps

For the caramelised onions: heat the oven to 220°C (200° fan) 425°F gas 7. Grease a baking tray.

Place the onion slices on the baking tray, brush with olive oil and sprinkle with a little sugar to caramelise. Cook for about 30 minutes, turning and seasoning with salt and pepper half-way through.

For the liver: toss the liver in a little flour, salt and pepper until lightly coated.

Heat a frying pan until very hot then add the butter. Add the liver and cook over a high heat for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned all over and just cooked.

For the gravy: melt the butter in a small pan, stir in the flour until smooth, then add the stock and bring to a boil, stirring. Add the Worcestershire sauce, vinegar and salt and pepper to taste.

Serve the liver, onions and gravy with roast potatoes and garnish with parsley.
