Finnish Beef Liver Bake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

200 ml rice
4 ml water
1 1/4 liters milk
3 teaspoons salt
2 onions
50 g butter
100 ml raisins
4 tablespoons syrup
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon marjoram
1 egg
300 g beef liver, ground (or finely chopped)

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 175\u00b0C.
Boil the rice in the water and milk until the rice is done - not all the liquid is vaporised, you should end up with a watery mixture. Cool.
Chop the onions finely and fry until soft.
In the cooled down rice-milk mixture, mix in the liver, onions, egg, raisins and the spices. The mixture should still be quite runny.
Pour the mixture into a buttered shallow oven dish, put some knobs of butter on top.
Bake for 1-1,5 h until brown.
This would traditionally be served with lingonberry jam, but any red tart jam like cranberry should be good.
