What is Beef liver skewers?
Beef liver skewers are made by threading bite-sized pieces of beef liver onto small skewers and grilling them over a hot fire. They are a familiar kebab-style dish in Turkey, where quick cooking helps the liver stay tender rather than dry. The name refers to the small-skewer style of preparation, not to a ground-meat kebab.
In Turkey, the skewers are often served with flatbread, sumac-dressed onion, parsley and grilled peppers; a salad or yogurt drink makes a fresh accompaniment. The liver has a savory, distinctive flavor and is exceptionally rich in protein, iron and vitamin B12, with 29.1 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter plate, pair it with plenty of vegetables and go easy on added oil and bread.
