Treat your ingredients with care...

• Goose liver — Ensure the liver is fresh and of high quality. Trim any excess fat or membranes before marinating for optimal taste and texture.

Tips & Tricks

• Soaking the bamboo skewers in water prevents them from burning during grilling.
• Basting the skewers with the remaining marinade while grilling adds extra flavor and moisture.
• If goose liver is not available, you can substitute it with chicken liver for a similar taste experience.
• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the marinade.
• Serve the skewers with a side of fresh cucumber slices and a drizzle of sesame oil for a refreshing contrast.
