A New Beast Loaf


Jess isn't quite the offal fan that I am, so my goal has been finding a 2nd liver dish other than pate that she'd enjoy.  On Friday I noticed a recipe on Mark's Daily Apple that sounded like it might fit the bill.  http://www.marksdailyapple.com/pork-beef-and-liver-terrine/

I was informed by Jess I couldn't call what I made a terrine since I omitted the nuts, but it came out great and she even agreed!  I used ground pork, ground beef, and beef liver, wrapped in bacon all from Meadow Haven Farms.  I used bourbon instead of brandy and we didn't have any allspice in the house.  I'll probably go a little more adventurous on the flavoring next time.  I followed the directions themselves pretty closely and it was pretty labor intensive, but in the end worth it.  We enjoyed a piece tonight sprinkled with some fresh parsley and a little Dijon mustard. 

For those that aren't big fans of the taste of beef liver,  but are trying to find ways to mix it in due to being such a nutrient powerhouse, this might be a good option.  It's not overly liver-y, has bourbon in it, and is wrapped in bacon!
