Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g lamb liver
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 6 pieces wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
Instructions
Begin by thoroughly rinsing the lamb liver under cold water. Pat it dry with paper towels and trim any membrane or connective tissue.
Slice the liver into 2–3 cm cubes, ensuring they are uniform in size for even cooking.
In a bowl, prepare the marinade by mixing olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the lamb liver cubes to the marinade and toss well to coat. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Preheat your BBQ grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are evenly distributed and glowing red for optimal heat.
Thread the marinated liver cubes onto the pre-soaked wooden skewers, leaving a small gap between each cube to allow heat to circulate.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 6–8 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the liver is lightly charred on the outside and just cooked through. Avoid overcooking, as liver can become tough and dry.
Once cooked, transfer the skewers to a serving platter and sprinkle them with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant garnish.
Serve immediately with a side of crusty bread, grilled vegetables, or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
