Traditionally made with beef liver, it reflects the country's resourceful culinary practices, turning a less popular cut into a flavorful dish.

beef liver

🥗Healthier: chicken liver

🥗Healthier: ground oats

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

1

Choose good quality beef liver, cut into pieces about 4-5 mm thick.

2

Remove the membrane from the liver if using a whole piece to prevent it from curling up during cooking.

3

Season the liver with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a small splash of apple cider vinegar.

4

Mince three cloves of garlic and add to the liver along with chopped parsley; mix everything with your hands.

5

Let the liver marinate for 2-3 hours to absorb the flavors.

6

Prepare three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs (2 eggs), and one with breadcrumbs.

7

Dredge each liver piece in flour, shaking off the excess, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, ensuring the breadcrumbs adhere well.

8

Heat cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat.

9

Fry the liver pieces until golden brown, turning them to cook evenly.

10

Prepare the potatoes by cutting off the ends and slicing them into wedges, leaving the skin on.

11

Soak the potato wedges in water to prevent oxidation.

12

Slice red onion into thin strips and soak in cold water to mellow the flavor.

13

Cut the tomato into irregular pieces, removing the hard center.

14

Slice green chili into rings and chop fresh cilantro.

15

Fry the potato wedges in oil until golden and crispy, seasoning with salt and paprika after cooking.

16

Fry the breaded liver until golden brown on both sides, then remove and drain on paper towels.

17

Mix the salad ingredients (onion, tomato, chili, cilantro) and season with salt, olive oil, and a splash of lemon juice before serving.
