  •  Ingredients:

    2 sm Onion, peeled, sliced 1/8 inch thick and separated into rings
    3/4 cup Olive oil
    1 tbl Salt
    Black pepper, freshly ground
    1/4 tsp Salt
    2 x Red Peppers, long, Italian type, cut in half, de-ribbed seeded, and cut lengthwise into 1/8 inch wide strips
    1/4 cup Parsley, finely chopped and preferably flat leaf
    1/4 tsp Hot red pepper, crushed
    1 lb Lamb's liver, trimmed and cut into 1/2 inch cubes, or 1 lb. calf's liver, trimmed and cubed
    1/4 cup Raki, or ouzo or any other anise flavored aperitif
    1/4 cup Flour

     

  •  How to Make:

  1. Place the onion rings in a sieve or colander, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the salt, and turn them about with a spoon to coat them evenly.
  2. Let them rest at room temperature for 30 minutes, then rinse under warm running water and squeeze them gently but completely dry.
  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.
