Spiced Fried Lamb Liver

👨‍🍳 Method

To assemble

1. 1
   Ahead of time, slice the liver about 1 cm thick and Soak 30 minutes in cold water, to draw out the blood. Drain and pat dry well with paper towels.

   💡Wet liver steams in the pan instead of searing: pat each slice dry with paper towels before frying.
2. 2
   Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat.

   Add the onion and fry for 8 minutes, stirring, until the onion is soft and deep golden.

   💡Add by cooking time: what needs long (onion, carrot, meat) goes in first, and what burns fast (garlic, dry spices) goes in last, only until fragrant.
4. 4
   Add the garlic and fry about 30 seconds to 1 minute, just until fragrant. Don't let the garlic brown.

   💡Garlic burns quickly and turns bitter. Add it only after the onion has softened, over medium heat, and add the next ingredient as soon as it smells fragrant.
5. 5
   Add slice the liver over high heat and fry 3–4 minutes per side. Don't overcook: the liver should stay pink inside.

   💡Liver is fried fast over high heat: it browns outside and stays pink and tender inside. One more minute in the pan and it turns hard and grainy.
6. 6
   Sprinkle the cumin, turmeric, paprika, salt and black pepper over the liver and stir.
7. 7
   Serve immediately with the chopped parsley and with fresh bread.
