Method
- Boil the sweet potatoes in a pan of lightly salted water for 15 minutes, until tender. Drain, mash with the honey, season and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, put the shallots in a large frying pan with 200ml water and boil until the water evaporates. Add ½ tablespoon of oil and fry the shallots, stirring, until caramelised.
- Add the garlic and Guinness and boil until the liquid is reduced to 3-4 tablespoons. Stir in 1 tablespoon of flour, then gradually stir in the stock and sugar and simmer for 2 minutes. Add the vinegar and Worcestershire sauce (if using) and season to taste.
- Mix the pepper with the rest of the flour and use to coat the liver. Put the remaining oil in a non-stick frying pan and fry the liver for 1-2 minutes each side, until pink. Serve with the mash, sauce and cooked spinach.
