Very good family favourite;
Ingredients:
500 or 650 gr Lamb Liver, (if you want, you can use beef Liver, Goat liver or Mutton liver), skin removed, sliced 1 or 1,5 cm thick (cubed it up),
100 or 150 gr tail fat, cut it small cube size, (it is optional),

1/2 Teaspoon Salt to taste,
1/2 Teaspoon Ground Black pepper to taste,
1/2 Teaspoon Red flakes pepper to taste,
Preparation:
1- Firstly, take your lamb livers and put them in a bowl and place in the refrigerator for a couple of hours (nearly 2 hours) to allow the blood to drain. Then, wash the livers and drain well. The liver has a very thin skin (membrane) and you need to peel it off. With a small knife, cut through this membrane and peel it off.
2- Then, cut the liver into cubes 2 - 2,5 cm by 2 - 2,5 (1-inch by1-inch) and put in a bowl. Sprinkle the olive oil (or melted butter), add salt and ground black pepper into this bowl and mix them with liver cubes well.
3- After these processes, put 2 liver cubes and 1 tail fat cube (total 6 liver cubes and 3 tail fat cubes) to the 1 skewer. Continue until all liver cubes and tail fat cubes finish and set aside (bye the way in this recipe, we didn’t use tail fat. But we often use it and recommend it to you. Also, we used wooden skewers: If you use wooden skewers, leave them in water for 10 minutes to prevent them from catching fire. We always recommend that stainless steel thin skewers.).
4- Then, fire up your barbecue and bring it to a high heat. Put your liver skewers over the flames, onto the barbecue grill. Again sprinkle or brush generously with the rest of the olive oil (or melted butter) as you cook. Turn after a couple of minutes and cook until the liver skewers is done to your preference.
5- We generally use barbecue but this time, we used oven for the cooking. So, if you use oven for the cooking process; place the liver skewers on a baking sheet lined with foil. Preheat the oven (grill) to medium - high heat. Grill the liver (skewers) kebabs for 1-2 minutes each side.
6- Cook Liver Shish on the bbq until all sides of tail fat cubes are golden brown. Once the tail fat turns to golden color, this will also show the liver cooked well.
7- Serve with lavash bread and prepared raw onion and sumac mix or Turkish salad.
