Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1 1/8 lb Lean belly pork * Fresh chopped parsley
3/4 lb Pig's liver 1 Garlic clove; crushed w/salt
6 oz Lean green streaky bacon 4 ts Lemon juice
6 oz Grated carrot 1 ts Lemon zest
6 oz Fresh brown breadcrumbs 1/4 ts (generous) dried thyme
2 sm Onions 1/4 ts (generous) dried marjoram
1 lg Green pepper

*Note: Weight of pork is after trimming away bones, rind and excess fat.

Mince the meats fairly finely, grate the carrot and chop the onion and
green pepper very finely. Mix all the ingredients very thoroughly with
your hands and season well with salt and pepper. Fry a small nugget to
check seasoning and adjust to taste. Oil a 2 lb loaf tin, line with
greaseproof paper and oil again. Pack the mixture into the tin. Press it
down well, dome the top of the meat nicely and press 2 or 3 bay leaves on
top.

Cover the tin with foil. Stand it in a roasting pan and pour in enough
boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the loaf tin. Bake at 350 F
(180 C) gas mark 4 for 1 hour. Reduce temperature to 325 F (160 C) gas
mark 3, remove foil lid and bake for a further 30 minutes.

Cool the cooked meatloaf for 30 minutes, then tilt the tin and pour off the
juices. Set aside in a cold place overnight before serving to allow
flavours to blend and mature.
