What each ingredient does

Liver
Provides the main meaty body and rich flavour of the skewers.
Bacon
Adds fat that bastes the liver as it cooks, keeping it moist and adding savoury flavour.

The step that matters

Broil or fry until cooked through. Liver is easy to overcook, which makes it dry and grainy. Thin slices cook quickly, so watch them closely and stop once they are just cooked through.
