400 Gm - Chicken Livers (roughly

3 rashers – Unsmoked Streaky Bacon

1 - Onion (chopped)
2 cloves - Garlic (chopped)
2 table spoons - Fresh Parsley (chopped)
1 teaspoon - Dried Mixed Herbs
A little Olive Oil

Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper
Heat a little olive oil in a pan on a
medium heat and gently fry the onions, garlic and bacon for 5 minutes.
Add the chicken livers, parsley and
dried herbs, season with salt and black pepper fry for a further 5 minutes then
add the red wine and simmer for about 10 minutes.
Strain through a sieve and put the
liquid to one side, then put the contents of the sieve into a blender.

keep some texture in the mix.
Put the breadcrumbs, egg and liver mix
into a bowl and blend well.

4 - 150 Gm cake tins and press the mixture into them.
Put them on a baking sheet and bake for
30 minutes then turn them out on a plate, you can carve them or serve them as individual loaves.
Put the liquid that you saved back in the
pan and simmer until reduced by half, this will be a beautiful tasting red wine
reduction.
You can serve as a starter or as a main course with vegetables and the red wine jus.
