    I personally don’t eat this, but I made it for my dad.
    He did leave it for 2 days “as it matures he says” before he ate it.
    He said it was delicious, not tough, melted in his mouth.
    I did not soak in milk, as he has always had liver without it being soaked. This is the only thing I did not follow on the recipe.
    He said he would definitely have it again.
    Thank you from 1 happy daughter..he ate ?

  2. This is the best way to cook liver! This recipe never fails. I also add diced game meat to it (kangaroo, goose) it’s Devine.

  3. I tried this out last weekend. I used 1 lambs fry.
    It was an easy and tasty recipe.
    Different from the recipe l make straight in a pan but still very nice.
    The only difference l would make is l would hold back half the bacon and fry it off just before serving to give variety of textures.
    I will definitely be making it again.
    It will be a scrumptious winter meal with potato mash and veggies.

  4. I made this on the weekend.
    I only used 1 lambs fry.
    It was very tasty.
    Next time l will hold back half of the bacon and fry off to give some difference in texture.
    It is different from my pan recipe but very easy and moreish.
    It will be a lovely meal with mashed potatoes and veg during winter.

    Could you do this with beef liver? And gravy mix instead of French onion?

  6. Decided to give this one a whirl and it came out pretty good..
    Garlic a bit strong but that’s only personal taste..
    If your a lambs fry lover, you will enjoy this one..

    Oh my gosh! Never going back to cooking lambs fry on the stove again. It was AMAZING, in flavour, soft and tender. Only thing I would do different is add just a bit more water in the sauce. Winner ?????

    Gday some recipes say to skin the lambs fry does this need to be done

  11. Angela Price May 17, 2023

    I’m confused don’t you need to peel the membrane off the liver first?

    I made this tonight, first time slow-cooking lambs-fry as I usually do it in the frypan. Was an absolute hit with the family, even some having seconds!
    I added a tin of crushed tomatoes (as I saw that in another recipe) and instead of beef stock, used 1T of Marmite in 1C boiling water (we’re in New Zealand so marmite is a staple in my lambs fry).
    Served it on mashed potato with cheese and a silver beet leaf chopped and stirred through.

    Cooked this for the first time in the SC, used Beef Liver, a mixture of French Onion Soup powder and Gravox. Tasted great and will definitely do it again. Thanks for sharing!

      A larger cooker, being emptier, may cook a little longer Sharyn 🙂

    I am excited to try this Lamb Fry recipe, I have always loved LF. Would you agree a tin of tomatoes would complement this dish ??
    Many thanks

    As I do not have use of a stove top could you just cut the lambs fry bacon and just put straight into cooker coated with flour.

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central November 3, 2025

      Some do skip browning I’ve seen Trish so I’m sure you’d be ok 🙂

    Like @Sheryl, I always whack in a tin of tomatoes for extra flavour.

    I recently ordered lambs fry at a pub for lunch – it was grey and tasteless – this is why lambs fry has a bad name! If it’s cooked well, it’s amazing!
