  • 1.5 – 2 Kg Caul (Netvet)
  • 750G Sheep’s Liver, Cleaned
  • 1 Packet Bacon

Recipe

Soak the caul fat (netvet) in hot water until soft.
Soak the liver in milk for ± 1 hour.
Cut half of the bacon into small pieces and place with the rest of the ingredients, except the caul (netvet), in a food processor and process until smooth.
Cut off the thick edges of the caul (netvet) and cut into ± 12 squares measuring 10 x 10 cm.
