Prep Time:15 mins

Total Time:30 mins
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 pound liver (beef or chicken)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 large garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Begin by rinsing the liver under cold water and patting it dry with paper towels. If necessary, remove any membranes or connective tissues for a tender texture.

Step 2

Slice the garlic cloves thinly and chop the rosemary, thyme, and parsley finely. Set aside separately.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, half of the garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a marinade.

Step 4

Place the liver in a shallow dish or zip-lock bag and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the liver is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.

Step 5

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C). Make sure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Remove the liver from the marinade, allowing excess oil to drip off. Discard the marinade used for soaking.

Step 7

Place the liver on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness, or longer if preferred, until the liver is firm to the touch but still slightly pink inside.

Step 8

While the liver is grilling, combine the remaining garlic with lemon juice.

Step 9

Once the liver is cooked, remove it from the grill and drizzle the lemon-garlic mixture over the top.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 11

Serve the grilled liver hot with a side of your choice, such as a green salad or roasted vegetables.
