| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Cook the rice in 4 quarts of briskly boiling salted water for about 12 minutes. When the rice is still slightly firm when tasted, drain it thoroughly in a colander and set it aside.
|
2. In a heavy 6- to 8-inch frying pan, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter over moderate heat. When the foam subsides, add the onions and cook them for 3 to 5 minutes, or until they are soft and transparent but not brown. Remove from the heat and set aside.
|
3. Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the approximately 3 cups of cooked rice, milk and lightly beaten eggs.
|
4. Add the cooked onions, crumbled bacon, raisins and corn syrup, and season with the salt, pepper and marjoram. Stir in the ground liver and mix thoroughly.
|
5. With a pastry brush or paper towels, spread a 2-quart casserole or baking dish with the tablespoon of butter and pour in the liver-rice mixture.
|
6. Bake uncovered in the middle of the oven for 1 to 1½ hours, or until a knife inserted in the center of the casserole comes out clean.
|
7. Serve hot, accompanied by lingonberries or cranberry sauce.
