Ingredients
- 500 grams liver (beef or chicken)
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 fresh garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the liver by rinsing it under cold water and patting it dry with paper towels. Trim any excess fat or connective tissue, if needed.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Step 3
Place the liver pieces into a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the liver is evenly coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.
Step 4
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Step 5
Remove the liver from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the used marinade.
Step 6
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking, using a folded paper towel dipped in olive oil.
Step 7
Place the liver on the grill and cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness, until cooked through but still tender. Avoid overcooking as it can make the liver tough.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the liver from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the grilled liver warm, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired.
