Liver-Rice Mold

The title doesn't sound so appetizing! But the food itself was good.

Recipe:

Liver-Rice Mold
Serves 3 (can increase a bit if you'd like)

3/4 lb leftover liver
2 - 3 c leftover rice
1-2 mushrooms
1 2-3" diameter 1/4" slice of onion
Spices to taste (I used pepper and sage)
warm water as needed
fat to grease pan
sauce to serve with (I used my ketchup)

Dice the liver fairly finely. Let the liver and rice warm up to room temperature. Preheat oven to 400F. Generously grease a ring mold, bundt pan, etc. The picture at the start of the post shows it done in a bundt pan, which is the only ring-shaped mold I have. I would have liked something a little smaller but it came out fine.

Finely mince the mushrooms and onion.

Put the liver, rice, mushrooms, and onion in a bowl and mix with your hands strongly until it starts to come together. It's important to use your hands because you get can feel it when it is holding together without homogenizing the liver. Add a little warm water if needed to make this happen. Add the spices and blend (again, use your hands).

Heat in oven 10 - 15 minutes until warmed through. It will form a nice thin crust and should unmold nicely. Serve with sauce.

Eating Notes:

It tastes a lot like really good meatloaf. Phil liked this even better than the fresh liver yesterday. I'm still a fan of fresh, but this was very good. I think you could make it with leftover potatoes, too if you were careful about the mashing/combining of everything.
