Finnish Beef Liver Bake Recipes

FINNISH BEEF LIVER BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 175°C.
• 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.

FINNISH MACARONI BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°C.
• Fry onion and ground beef until onion is soft and the beef is brown.
• Boil the macaroni al dente (it will still cook in the oven).
• Mix the pasta, beef and onion, season with salt and pepper and put in a shallow oven dish.
• Mix the milk and eggs together, pour on the pasta mixture. It should just cover everything.
• Bake in the oven for about an hour.
