Stir-fried pork liver with fried bean sprouts
Marcello Tully's stir-fried pork liver recipe is quick to prepare and as frugal as it gets, allowing you to use up plenty of store cupboard ingredients. Make sure the frying pan is super hot before cooking the livers – this will keep them pink and moist in the middle, whilst giving the liver great texture and colour.
