1 medium-sized onion
4 garlic cloves, minced (optional)
1 medium-sized tomato
salt and ground black pepper, to taste
1 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp turmeric
1 tbsp juice of fresh lemon
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp cooking oil for sauteeing

Instructions
- Clean chicken liver and drain – for about 3 minutes. No need to dry further with a paper towel. Transfer them to a pan and cook on medium heat for about 2 minutes. At this stage, the livers will cook from their own juice – let the juice evaporate. If the livers turn out to be too dry, add water (sparingly).
- Add turmeric and cumin and stir for half a minute. Add the juice of fresh lemon and let boil – do not stir.
- Add olive oil and cook the livers further until done — about 10 more minutes.
- In another pan, sautee onion and garlic (if using) in cooking oil until transparent. Add tomatoes, salt, and black pepper and stir for another minute.
- Transfer chicken livers to a plate, top with onion and tomato mixture and minced fresh parsley/
- Serve with steamed white rice or bread.
