45 ml margarine
1 onion, sliced
15 ml brown sugar
20 ml balsamic vinegar
125 g x 4 slices calves livers
Robertsons thyme

Cooking Method

Melt 30 ml margarine in a non-stick heavy based frying pan
Add the onions to the frying pan and cook until soft then add the sugar and balsamic vinegar and cook for a further 5 – 10 minutes to caramelise then set aside
Melt the remaining margarine in the pan, when it starts to brown add the liver to the pan, sprinkle generously with thyme, top with sliced garlic and add the Knorr Beef Stock Pot to the pan and allow it to melt
Allow to colour quickly on one side then turn the liver over and cook on the other side and remove from the pan
