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.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by peeling the onion and garlic. Slice the onion thinly and halve the garlic. Remove the seeds from the peppers and slice them thinly. After peeling and washing the potatoes, slice them thinly for even cooking.

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.
