method
1. Wash the liver under cold running water and pat dry with absorbent paper. Trim away any skin or large veins.
2. To prepare the topping, melt the butter in a saucepan and gently fry the onion and celery for 5 minutes. Off the heat stir in the breadcrumbs, lemon zest, oregano or sage, parsley, beaten egg and seasonings.
3. Heat the oven to 180°C (350°F) gas 4. Choose a shallow baking tin large enough for the liver slices to lie flat in a single layer and use the bacon fat or dripping to grease it well. Put it in the oven to heat.
4. Meanwhile, season the flour and toss the liver in it until it is well coated.
5. Remove the baking dish from the oven and arrange the liver slices on the base. Spoon the topping evenly over the liver, press lightly, then cover completely with the bacon slices. Bake in the centre of the oven for 30—35 minutes, until the liver is cooked.
