Steps
Steps
- 1Cut the liver into 1 cm strips, removing any tubes, rinse and pat completely dry.
- 2Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a large frying pan over high heat and fry the mushrooms for 5 minutes until browned; tip them into a bowl.
- 3Add 2 more tbsp of oil and fry the onion and both peppers over medium-high heat for 6–7 minutes, until softened and lightly charred at the edges; add the garlic for the last minute and tip everything into the bowl with the mushrooms.
- 4Turn the heat to high, add the remaining oil and fry the liver in a single layer for 2 minutes without moving it, then stir and fry for 1–2 minutes more, until browned outside and only just pink inside.
- 5Return the vegetables, add the tomatoes and savory and pour in the wine. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring, until the tomatoes soften and the wine reduces.
- 6Season with the salt and pepper only now — salted early, liver turns hard and grainy.
- 7Scatter with the parsley and serve at once, straight from the pan.
