Ingredients

• 500 grams beef liver (or lamb liver)
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons ground coriander
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the liver slices under cold water to remove any residue. Pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

If necessary, trim off the membrane or tough connective tissue from the liver and slice it into pieces about 1 cm thick.

Step 3

Finely chop the garlic cloves and parsley. Set them aside.

Step 4

In a bowl, combine the paprika, cumin, coriander, ground ginger, salt, black pepper, and chili flakes (if using). Add the lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to form a marinade paste.

Step 5

Rub the marinade paste over the liver slices, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let the liver marinate for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 6

Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

Add the chopped garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 8

Place the liver slices in the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (liver should still be slightly pink inside to avoid overcooking, which can make it tough).

Step 9

Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the liver slices and toss lightly to combine.

Step 10

Serve hot with warm bread, rice, or a fresh salad. Garnish with a slice of lemon if desired.
