Information
Soak the liver in a little milk for about an hour to remove the strong flavour.
Drain and dry it before cooking.
Always use liver on the day it is bought, or within 24 hours if kept well wrapped in a refrigerator.
Do not be tempted to leave the liver in the oven for longer than 30 minutes, overcooked liver is tough and leathery, and the apple slices will disintegrate.

- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

- Sandwich 1/2 rasher of bacon between 2 apple slices and 2 liver slices. Turn the liver sandwiches on their sides and arrange in rows on top of the onions. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
