method
1. Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the onions and fry gently until soft but not browned.
2. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and leave to cool.
3. Put the pork belly into a food processor and chop, using the pulse button, into a coarse mixture.
4. Add to the onions in the bowl. Put the bacon and liver in the food processor and again, coarsely chop, then transfer to the bowl.
5. Add the garlic, chopped herbs, salt and freshly ground black pepper and mix everything together really well - the best way of distributing the ingredients evenly is with your hands.
6. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
7. Put the mixture into a lightly oiled 1.5 litre/21/2 pint terrine dish or loaf tin and slightly round off the top.
8. Cover with a lid or some foil, put into a small roasting tin and pour enough hot water into the tin to come half way up the sides of the dish. Bake for 11/2 hours.
9. Uncover the terrine and cook for a further 15 minutes, until it is lightly coloured on top.
10. Remove the dish from the roasting tin and leave to cool. Then weight down the terrine overnight in the fridge. The easiest way to do this is to cut out a piece of cardboard that will fit inside the rim of the dish, cover it with foil, then place it on top of the terrine and place a few weights or unopened cans on top.
11. To serve, remove the terrine from the dish in slices. Accompany with lots of crusty bread, pickled blueberries beetroot chutney and some cornichons.
12. For the pickled blueberries, put 1.2 litres/2 pints of distilled malt vinegar into a pan with 30 garlic cloves, 12 allspice berries, a 5cm/2 inch piece of cinnamon stick, 4 small dried red chillies and 900g/2lb granulated sugar.
13. Bring to the boil to dissolve the sugar, remove from the heat and leave to stand for 2 hours.
14. Pack 175 g (6 oz) of blueberries into sterilised 450 g (1 lb) jars and pour over the cool syrup. Seal with vinegar-proof lids and leave for 2 - 3 months before using.
15. For the beetroot chutney, (makes 7 x 450g/1 lb jars) peel 900g/2lb raw beetroot and coarsely shred on a mandolin or by hand.
16. Put into a preserving pan with 450 g (1 lb) chopped onions, 750g/11/2 lb peeled, cored and roughly chopped cooking apples, 450 g (1 lb) raisins, 3 tbsp ground ginger, 2 tsp dried chilli flakes, 900g/2lb granulated sugar, 1.2 litres/2 pints malt vinegar, 30g/11/2oz salt and juice of 1 lemon.
17. Heat gently, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to the boil and simmer gently, uncovered, for about 2 hours, until well reduced and quite thick but don't forget that it will thicken even further as it cools.
18. Spoon into warm, sterilised jars, cover with waxed discs and then seal with vinegar-proof lids. It will keep for up to one year.
2. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and leave to cool.
3. Put the pork belly into a food processor and chop, using the pulse button, into a coarse mixture.
