Ingredients

  • 8 oz pork liver
  • 8 oz fresh belly pork (boned)
  • ½ clove garlic
  • 2 tbsps dry white wine or brandy
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ⅓ lb thick lean bacon or 3 rashers of streaky bacon

Instructions
 

  • Mince the liver and belly pork coarsely (A food processor can be used to mince the meat and garlic and then mix the rest of the ingredients in.)
  • Mince or crush the garlic very finely
  • Add the garlic to the minced meat
  • Add the wine or brandy
  • Add the salt and pepper
  • Mix all the ingredients and press into a pint size oven-proof dish or terrine.
  • Stretch the streaky bacon into thin strips with a knife and place on the top of the meat in a crisscross fashion over it.
  • Cover with a lid or foil if you don't have a lid.
  • Leave for a few hours before baking so that the flavours blend beautifully.
  • Place the dish in a baking tray with water which comes half way up the dish making a bain-marie.
  • Bake in the center of a pre-heated oven 300°F/150°C/Gas 2 for about 1½ hours.
  • Remove the lid for the last 10 minutes.
