Method

  1. 1

    Heat half the olive oil in a large frying pan and cook the onions for 12-15 minutes, stirring often, until soft and golden.

  2. 2

    Push the onions to one side of the pan, add the remaining olive oil and turn the heat up to high.

  3. 3

    Season the liver slices and fry for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned outside but still a little pink in the centre, then set aside with the onions.

  4. 4

    Pour the red wine vinegar and beef stock into the hot pan and let it bubble for 1 minute, scraping up any browned bits.

  5. 5

    Return the liver and onions to the pan to warm through briefly in the sauce.

  6. 6

    Scatter with parsley and serve immediately.
