Treat your ingredients with care...

• Lamb liver — Make sure to trim any excess fat or connective tissue from the liver before marinating and grilling. This will result in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Tips & Tricks

• If you prefer a spicier flavor, increase the amount of red chili powder in the marinade.
• For a smoky flavor, you can grill the skewers over charcoal instead of a gas grill.
• If mustard greens are not available, you can substitute with spinach or kale for a similar texture.
