I did that yesterday (not something I make a habit of) It was lamb's liver ,kidney ,bacon and sage that I fried up in the pan. Then ,because I had an old opened bottle of red wine I threw into the pan after taking out the liver etc and made a little sauce to experiment . It worked quite well although quantity was small. I have another "regular" recipe with chicken pieces ,cardamom,green peppers and sweet red martini. Add cream and marmite to that sauce.
