Recipe Steps
Time to get cooking! Follow these simple steps for a delicious liver pudding that will soon become your go-to recipe:
- Prep Your Ingredients: Begin by rinsing your pork liver under cold water. Don’t forget to remove any membranes—this step is essential for a smooth texture.
- Blend It Up: In a large bowl, combine the liver, pork fat (or ground pork), ground pork, and finely chopped onion. Use a food processor to blend everything into a smooth paste. It’s okay if you feel a bit like a mad scientist at this point!
- Season to Perfection: Add in your salt, black pepper, and chopped sage. Trust me, the sage elevates this dish beautifully. Stir everything until well combined.
- Cook the Cornmeal: In a large pot, bring the 2 quarts of cold water to a boil. Gradually whisk in the cornmeal, stirring continuously (no lumps allowed!). Cook for about 15 minutes, until thick and creamy.
- Mix It All Together: Pour the cornmeal mixture into your meat blend, stirring until fully combined. It should be a lovely thick consistency.
- Bake It: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan and pour your mixture in. Bake for about 1.5 hours, or until firm. You’ll know it’s done when your kitchen smells divine.
- Serve it Up: Allow it to cool slightly before serving. You can slice it up right from the pan or turn it out onto a cutting board. Serve with rice for the ultimate comfort meal!
