   Add the onion and fry 5 minutes, stirring now and then, until the onion is soft and translucent and starts to turn golden at the edges. If it browns too fast, lower the heat.

   💡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.

   Add the liver over high heat and fry 2 minutes. 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.
