Cook the liver: Push the onions and peppers to one side of the pan, or remove them temporarily. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet. Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the liver slices in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through but still tender. Avoid overcooking, as this will make the liver tough.

Combine and season: Return the onions and peppers to the pan with the liver. Sprinkle with cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to combine and cook for another minute.
