  4. Season the liver on  both sides with salt, pepper and the sugar, then coat lightly in the flour. Heat a large frying pan over a high heat. When hot, add the oil, then the liver and cook for 2 minutes each side, until nicely browned but still pin and juicy on the inside. Add the balsamic vinegar to the pa. Serve the liver and pan juices immediately with the celeriac mash and crispy bacon.

delicious. tips

  1. It’s important to cook the liver right at the last minute so it’s eaten while tender and juicy. If you’re not sure about keeping your eye on different pans at the same time, make the mash ahead and reheat in the microwave to serve.
