Ingredients

• 300 grams Beef liver
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 medium, thinly sliced Onion
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
• 8 large Lettuce leaves
• 1 sliced Tomato
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 sliced Avocado

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the beef liver under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut the liver into approximately 1/2-inch thick slices.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the coconut oil.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add the onions and sauté for about 5 minutes until they begin to turn translucent.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the liver slices to the skillet.

Step 6

Season with salt and ground black pepper, and cook the liver for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.

Step 7

Once the liver is cooked, remove it from the heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top.

Step 8

To assemble the sandwiches, spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on each lettuce leaf.

Step 9

Place a slice or two of cooked liver on each leaf, followed by a slice of tomato and some avocado slices.

Step 10

Fold the lettuce leaf over the filling to form a wrap, securing with a toothpick if necessary.

Step 11

Serve the sandwiches immediately while warm, or refrigerate for up to a day for a cold option.
