Ingredient Details
Livers are an excellent source of protein, vitamins B12, and iron, being a nutritious but often underrated food. Make sure to choose fresh livers, without signs of bile, to achieve the best flavor. Potatoes add a creamy texture, while colorful vegetables not only add beauty but also a variety of nutrients.

2. Preparing the livers: Check the livers for any bile, then wash them well and let them drain.
3. Heating the pan: Place the Dry Cooker pan on the stove and add the oil. Grease the pan well and put the lid on. Let it heat on low for 3-5 minutes until the lid becomes hot.
4. Adding the ingredients: Place the livers in the pan and add the vegetables: peppers, potatoes, onion, and garlic. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste. Cover the pan with the lid and let everything steam on low heat.
5. Mixing and finishing: After about 15-20 minutes, gently mix the ingredients. After another 15 minutes, add the chopped parsley and let it cook for another 3-5 minutes. Turn off the heat when the livers are well cooked and the vegetables are tender.
6. Serving: This dish is served warm, alongside pickled green tomatoes or pickles, which will add a pleasant contrast of textures and flavors.
