Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams liver (beef or chicken)
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 fresh garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the liver by rinsing it under cold water and patting it dry with paper towels. Trim any excess fat or connective tissue, if needed.
In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Place the liver pieces into a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the liver is evenly coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the liver from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the used marinade.
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking, using a folded paper towel dipped in olive oil.
Place the liver on the grill and cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness, until cooked through but still tender. Avoid overcooking as it can make the liver tough.
Once cooked, remove the liver from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled liver warm, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired.
