Step by Step Instructions

  • 1

    Place the liver into a large bowl. Add the white wine, vinegar, garlic, and bay leaves. Toss until well coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.

  • 2

    When ready to cook, place the peeled potatoes into a large saucepan. Cover with cold water, add a pinch of salt, and cook over medium heat for 15–20 minutes, or until soft. Drain and keep warm when finshed.

  • 3

    Meanwhile, remove the liver steaks from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Heat a large frying pan or skillet over medium heat and add the lard.

  • 4

    Add the liver in batches and fry for about 5 minutes, or until colored on both sides. Avoid overcooking so the liver doesn’t become dry and tough. Transfer each batch to a plate and continue frying the rest.

  • 5

    Once all the liver is cooked, keep the frying liquid in the pan and add the reserved marinade and a pinch of ground black pepper. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced slightly and is starting to thicken.

  • 6

    Remove the pan from heat and return the liver to the pan. Mix well without breaking up the meat.

  • 7

    Serve the liver with the warm potatoes, sprinkled with freshly chopped parsley.
