3. In a large bowl, toss the onions, parsley and red pepper together until well mixed. Set aside.
4. Drop the liver into a bowl, pour in the raki and stir together for a few seconds. Then pour off the raki.
5. Toss the liver and flour together in another bowl, place the liver in a sieve and shake through all the excess flour.
6. In a heavy 10 to 12 inch skillet, heat the oil over high heat until a light haze forms above it.
7. Add the liver and stir it about in the hot oil for 1 or 2 minutes, or until the cubes are lightly browned.
8. Stir in the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt and a few grindings of pepper.
9. With a slotted spoon, transfer the liver to paper towels to drain.
10. Mound the liver in the center of a heated platter, arrange the onion-ring mixture and red pepper strips around it and serve at once.
