Method

Fry the onions quickly in oil until just turning colour. Remove and keep hot. Slice the liver very finely, trimming it of any veinous bits, and season with salt and pepper. Fry it very quickly in the pan the onions were in, adding another tablespoon or so of oil if necessary, until crisp on the outside. Remove to the warm dish.

Heat the garlic in the oil, adding the sugar after a second
