Liver in garlic butter
Another nice way to cook liver with as much garlic as you like!
As a habit, I like to soak liver in milk before cooking. You can omit that step if you wish, other than imparting more garlic flavour, it probably doesn't make too much difference.

Serving suggestions
Serve with a light salad and tomatoes. We had some leftover roasties too. Yum!
Variations
We make breadcrumbs from the bread we bake everyday which makes this look rather 'gnarly'. Normal breadcrumbs are fine.
Chef's notes
Add the flour to a Lock and Lock box with the drained liver, cover and shake well. This is quick, easy and the best way to evenly flour the liver.
