Liver in sherry vinegar (Lebanese style)

The inspiration for this recipe come from a translation of a 1960's Lebanese cook-book I picked up somewhere. I have always found vinegar a good accompaniment for liver. The original recipe just stated vinegar, but I have changed this to sherry vinegar because I love it so much.

Best recipe review Not as nice the second time around 3/5 Maybe it was the liver, but quite tough Jerry

Just before the vinegar is added. Note the huge cinnamon stick!

• 1 scant teaspoon sea salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 red bell pepper, de-seeded and sliced into strips
• 3 fresh hot chili peppers, chopped into thin rings and de-seeded if you wish

• 2 tablespoons flour
• 50 ml sherry vinegar
• 50g ghee, butter or olive oil

Method

1. Wash and clean the liver and cut into thin slices.
2. Leave in a colander for 1 hour to drain excess liquid (if you have the time). Toss in the flour to coat

4. Add the cinnamon stick and cook the liver for 10 minutes, turning often.

Serving suggestions

Chef's note

The recipe originally had 100 ml of vinegar but I found that too much for my taste so reduced it to 50ml.

Variations

Use red wine instead of vinegar.
