and squeeze them gently but completely dry.

onions, parsley and red pepper together until well mixed. Set
aside.

pour in the raki and stir together for a few seconds. Then pour
off the raki.
- Toss the liver and flour
together in another bowl, place the liver in a sieve and shake
through all the excess flour.
- In a heavy 10 to 12 inch
skillet, heat the oil over high heat until a light haze forms
above it.
- Add the liver and stir it
about in the hot oil for 1 or 2 minutes, or until the cubes are
lightly browned.
- Stir in the remaining 1/4
teaspoon of salt and a few grindings of pepper.

the liver to paper towels to drain.

of a heated platter, arrange the onion-ring mixture and red
