What is Edirne-style fried liver?
Edirne-style fried liver comes from Edirne in northwestern Turkey. Traditionally, thin strips of lamb liver are lightly coated in flour and quickly fried in hot oil, giving them a crisp outside and tender centre.
It is usually served hot, often with fried dried peppers and sliced onion, and can be shared as a starter or eaten as a main with bread or rice. The liver makes it a protein-rich dish that is also notably rich in iron and vitamin B12; frying adds to its fat content. For a lighter meal, have a modest portion with a fresh salad rather than adding another fried side.
