Ingredients
Before you start cooking, gather the following ingredients:
– 1 pound of liver (beef, chicken, or pork)
– 1 tablespoon of olive oil
– 1 onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon of paprika
– 1 teaspoon of salt
– 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
– 1/4 teaspoon of ground cumin
– 1/4 teaspoon of ground coriander
– 1/4 teaspoon of ground turmeric
– 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
– 1/2 cup of water or beef broth
– 1/2 cup of chopped tomatoes or tomato puree
– Fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish
Preparation
1. Begin by washing the liver thoroughly under cold running water. Pat it dry with paper towels.
2. Cut the liver into small, bite-sized pieces. If you prefer, you can also slice it into thin strips.
3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until they are translucent and slightly golden.
4. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
5. Stir in the spices (paprika, salt, black pepper, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne pepper) and cook for another minute to release their flavors.
Cooking the Liver
1. Add the liver pieces to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are browned on all sides. Be careful not to overcook the liver, as it can become tough and chewy.
2. Pour in the water or beef broth and chopped tomatoes or tomato puree. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
3. Let the liver fry cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the liver is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened slightly.
4. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Serving
1. Once the liver fry is ready, remove it from the heat and let it sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
2. Serve the liver fry hot, garnished with fresh parsley or cilantro. You can also serve it with rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dish.
