Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Liver

    Cut the liver into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Toss to coat the liver pieces evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to meld.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Skewers

    Soak wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning. If using metal skewers, this step can be skipped.

  4. 4

    Skewer the Liver

    Thread the marinated liver pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.

  5. 5

    Grill the Skewers

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the liver is cooked through and slightly charred.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a minute before serving. Enjoy with a side of fresh salad or pita bread.
