Instructions

  1. Clean, trim, and slice the liver into thin cutlets, scoring the edges to prevent curling.

  2. Marinate the liver in a bowl with cumin, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, cayenne pepper, vinegar, and oil for 30 minutes to two hours.

  3. Heat vegetable or olive oil in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat.

  4. Add sliced onions, season with salt and pepper, and fry for 10 minutes until tender and lightly colored; push onions to the sides.

  5. Optionally dredge liver in flour, then add to the pan and fry 3-4 minutes per side until cooked through, stirring onions occasionally.

  6. Transfer liver and onions to a plate; return pan to low heat.

  7. Add butter to the pan, swirling to combine with juices to form a sauce.

  8. Serve liver and onions immediately, topped with sauce and garnished with parsley or cilantro.
