• 450g (1 lb) lambs liver, thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons of plain flour
• sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 25g (1 oz) butter
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon wholegrain mustard

Method

1. Trim the liver of any veins and membranes
2. Season the flour with salt and pepper and place in a Lock and Lock type box

4. Heat the oil and butter until if foams and quickly brown the liver for 1 minute a side - reserve and keep warm.

Chef's notes

The liver cooking time will depend on how thinly you slice it. Check that it is to your liking before it is reserved as it won't cook much more in the sauce.

If like me, you forget to buy a lime, use a few tablespoons of that handy stand-by, bottled lime juice.
