1 pound chicken livers, trimmed and cut into bite-size pieces
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes

1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 medium onion, chopped

Steps:

Place chicken livers in a large bowl, and pour in 3 tablespoons olive oil, vinegar, and lemon juice; season with garlic, cumin, coriander, chili flakes, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Stir together, and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
Remove livers to a bowl, and reserve marinade.
