Foxx's Lambs Fry With Bacon & Onion
« on: August 25, 2012, 08:41:25 am »
Now this isnt everyones idea of breakfast but we love it here. It also doesnt look very appealing either but I have no idea on how to "pretty" it up. This is my second try of this and imo it came out a lot better than the first & I managed to write the steps down this time. I hope my instructions are not confusing either.



INGREDIENTS

400g liver(approx)
50g Plain Flour
1 Tablespoon Black Pepper
100g Bacon
20g Olive Oil(wouldnt matter what oil is used)
1 medium onion-Halved
100g water

METHOD

Add teaspoon of salt to 500g of water & put liver in to soak for 1 hour,this makes it easier to peel of the outer membrane of the liver.Peel this membrane off completely.The membrane looks like a sausage casing.Slice the liver into thin strips.

Slice 100g of bacon into thin strips.

Place 50g of flour & 1 Tbsp of black pepper into container & mix well.Add the sliced liver,toss to coat it all well.Take livers out of container & set aside.Reserve the left over flour if you wish to thicken the gravy at the end.

Chop the 2 onion halves on speed 7 for 5 secs.
Add oil & bacon cook for 3 minutes @ 100,speed 1 in reverse.
Add liver & cook 7 mins,varoma,speed 1 in reverse.
Add water & cook 10 mins on 100,speed 1 in reverse.
Check consistency of the gravy,add flour or water to taste and cook for 5 mins more.

Serve on buttered toast & enjoy.. :)

Thanks so much for this recipe Foxx.  I love lambs fry and bacon, perhaps not for breakfast but with mashed potato, peas & carrot as a main. I have had one in the freezer just waiting for me to convert my method for the TMX so now you have done the work for me ;)

 My Mum used to make it as an evening meal and that's all I have ever done too.  This is probably the only food I cook the same as Mum did.

Great conversion, well done. I'm afraid I am not a lambs fry fan. The only thing I have ever liked to do with it is/was help Dad take it from the sheep as a kid.

Judy,I have never tried it until my partner requested it one day.He loved it as a kid as his mum used to cook it.My mum may have cooked it when we were kids too but I cant remember ever trying it if she did.

Haha Cookie,I too used to like watching my dad but when he would do the rabbits.I realise its not a recipe people would go gaga over either  ;)

I do hope someone tries it,reports back with their verdict & maybe a few improvements.. :)

I haven't cook Lamb's Fry for ages, late Hubby and kids love it, I use tinned tomatoes instead of water. I will have to try it in the TMX thanks Foxx for jogging our memories on this.

Love Lambs fry and bacon - not so much for breakfast but with mashed potato and peas.  Will make in TMX next time.  As for pretty up - not sure that you can - perhaps just some chopped fresh parsley sprinkled over the top. 
You haven't failed at anything until you stop trying.

Yes Gert,  I love lamb's fry.  Found one in the freezer yesterday,  will try.  There is a Cafe in Ballarat that cooks the BEST fry for breakfast. 
Thanks
Foxx.
