Method
1
Rinse the chicken liver (or lamb/beef liver) thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Remove any connecting tissue or discolored portions with a knife.
2
Slice the liver into thin strips, approximately ΒΌ inch thick. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or tagine over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
4
Add the sliced onions to the hot oil and cook, stirring frequently, until they become soft and translucent, approximately 5-7 minutes.
6 minutes
5
Push the onions to the side of the skillet and add the seasoned liver strips in a single layer. Allow them to cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until the bottom develops a light crust.
6
Stir the liver and onions together, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until the liver is cooked through but still slightly pink in the center.
3 minutes
7
Pour the white vinegar over the liver and onions, stirring gently to combine and deglaze the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes to allow the vinegar to reduce slightly.
8
Add the pickled onions to the skillet and toss everything together gently. Cook for 1-2 minutes to warm the pickled onions through.
9
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Transfer to a serving dish and serve warm with crusty bread or over couscous.
