Melt half the butter in a frying pan, add the onions and fry for about 5 minutes, until soft.

Butter a fairly wide, shallow casserole dish. Dip the liver slices in the flour and lay half of them in the dish. Place the onions on top and sprinkle over half the raisins and the thyme. Top with the remaining liver and raisins.
Mix the wine with the stock, salt and pepper and pour into the casserole.
