Ingredients
- 500 grams calf liver
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 units garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by rinsing the calf liver under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Trim any visible filaments or tough membranes from the liver.
Step 2
Finely chop the garlic cloves, rosemary, thyme, and parsley.
Step 3
In a shallow dish or bowl, combine the olive oil, chopped garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir the mixture well to create the marinade.
Step 4
Add the liver to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using an outdoor grill, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Once heated, place the marinated liver pieces on the grill. Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the liver is browned and cooked through, maintaining a slightly pink interior for optimal tenderness.
Step 7
Remove the liver from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve the grilled liver garnished with extra fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon, if desired, for added freshness.
