The book gives ½ stops of milk, 7 or 8 eggs, 4 handfuls of breadcrumbs and ¼ mārciņa of currants, which converts to about 640 ml, 7–8 eggs, 120–160 g and 105 g. It gives no amount of liver. We've used half, with 500 g of liver.

Method

7 soļi
  1. The night before, cover the liver with cold water and refrigerate it.
  2. Drain the liver and pat it dry. Pull off the thin outer membrane. Cut the liver into thick slices and scrape the soft flesh away from the veins and tubes with the edge of a knife or a spoon; throw the veins away. Quicker: cut out the larger veins, purée the liver in a food processor and press it through a sieve.
  3. Heat the oven to 175 °C. Butter a 1.5 l baking dish.
  4. Whisk the milk, eggs, breadcrumbs, mace and salt together and leave for 5 minutes for the crumbs to soften. Stir in the liver and currants.
  5. Pour into the dish and dot the top with the butter.
  6. Bake for 50–60 minutes, until set in the middle and lightly browned. A knife pushed into the centre should come out clean, and the centre should reach 75 °C.
  7. Rest for 10 minutes and serve warm, cut into squares.

Notes

What the book says vs. what we added

the book soaks the liver overnight, skins it, scrapes the flesh off the veins, mixes it with milk, eggs, breadcrumbs, mace and washed currants and bakes it in a buttered pan with butter on top. The amount of liver, the salt, the sieve shortcut, the oven temperature and the time are ours.

Liver

calf's liver is the mildest. Pig's liver is stronger but traditional in Baltic liver bakes.

Similar dishes

the Finnish maksalaatikko, baked liver with rice, raisins and syrup, is a close cousin. Melted butter or lingonberry jam is good with it (our suggestion).
