Kebdah Makly
- 6 slices calfs or lambs liver
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil plus more for frying
- 2 tablespoons wine vinegar
- Salt and pepper
- Oil
- Juice of 1/2 lemon (optional)
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley (optional garnish)
- 1 mild onion, very thinly sliced (optional garnish)
- Cut the liver into 1-inch pieces, and remove any sinews or membranes.
- Mix the olive oil and vinegar with salt and pepper and marinate the liver for 1 hour in this mixture.
- Pour the liver and its marinade into a skillet and cook over high heat for 2 or 3 minutes, turning the pieces over, until brown on the outside but still pink and juicy inside.
- (Liver dries very quickly and is not good overcooked.)
- Serve hot or cold, sprinkled with lemon juice, and garnished with chopped parsley and onion slices if you like.
- A Moroccan way is to add a good sprinkling of paprika, and ground cumin and coriander to the frying oil.
- For a Turkish Albanian-style liver, cut the liver in small cubes, salt them, and dredge in flour.
- Deep-fry in about 1/2 inch very hot sunflower or vegetable oil for 12 minutes until crisp and brown.
- Lift out with a slotted spoon and serve sprinkled with ground chili pepper or flakes, or with paprika.
- Accompany with sliced onions rubbed with salt and sprinkled with 2 teaspoons sumac.
