Ingredients:

450g pig's liver
675g unrendered lard, chopped
3.6l pig's blood
900g breadcrumbs
120g oatmeal
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground allspice
beef casings

Method:

Bring a pan of salted water to a boil, add the liver and cook for about 25 minutes, or until tender. Remove the liver, allow to cool then trim and mince (reserve the cooking liquid). Add the minced liver to a bowl and mix with all the remaining ingredients. Stir thoroughly until completely blended. Add reserved cooking liquid if the mixture is a little too dry.

Use the mixture to fill the casings then tie off at 30cm lengths. Place in a steamer and cook for between 4 and 5 hours then take out of the steam and set aside until cold. Cut into 12mm thick slices and fry in hot fat on both sides until well crisped and cooked through.

Traditionally this was served with eggs, bacon and fried potatoes or potato cakes.
