Hugh's merguez liver and onions

I saw Hugh-Fearnley Whittingstall make this last night, oddly, on one of his vegetarian programs! It looked delicious. I have made a few small changes, but it's basically the same as i remember it on television.

The trick is to slice the liver thinly and to cook it quickly.

This would make a great starter or lunchtime snack.

Serving suggestions

We served this in home made pitta breads filled with wild rocket leaves and yogurt. Can't be beaten!

Variations

We couldn't get lambs' liver today, so went for ox liver. As that can be a bit stronger, once it was sliced, I soaked it in milk for 30 minutes which does seem to make it a little milder.
