Liver and bacon hotpot recipe
information
If using pig liver, soak it 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. Heat the oven to 180°C (350°F) Gas 4.
