With all the health scares, liver has gotten a bad rap lately. There is a lot of misinformation floating around about the dangers of eating liver. Apart from being a superfood, liver prepared the right way is very delicious.
When it comes to liver, it is good to follow these guidelines: a) buy fresh liver, b) eat in moderation, and c) don’t eat it too frequently. Well, if you look at those guidelines, they are equally applicable to red meat. Most of us are guilty of eating too big a portion, eating it frequently, and not caring too much about the quality of the meat.
We eat liver about once or twice a month and we buy it from a local butcher shop that sells the freshest liver. Like most Somalis, we prefer goat and lamb liver, but occasionally we have calf’s liver. We also love camel liver with a bit of hump fat (kurus in Somali) but for the time being all we can do is dream about it! (We can already hear the oohs and aahs from those that understand).
The best way to turn people away from liver is to give them overcooked liver that tastes dry and bitter. Liver that is cooked properly is moist and sweet. Liven it up with colourful veggies like green, red, and yellow bell peppers and top it with caramelized red onions and you will have a dish that is both delicious and looks appetizing.

OMG i really like this website it is really cool bt what if u cant get cilantro around u and grond pepper.what else can i use.
Thank you for your kind words. You can use parsley instead. You can grind your own black pepper, and if you can’t find any then use hot chili pepper.
