This dish is a comforting and filling starter that tastes like little bites of heaven. It takes a bit more preparation than the other dishes, but it is well worth it.

- 140g (~3/4 cup) white breadcrumb
- 50 grams of chopped up walnuts (about a handful)
- Finely chopped bacon
Method: Get yourself a nice big frying pan, turn the heat up and begin heating the oil. Soften the onions for about 5 minutes (or they become translucent), then add the mushrooms and fry for a further 10 minutes.
Next, stir in the garlic and cook for a couple of minutes. Pop these aside in a bowl and put the livers in another pan. Cooking time can vary but just aim for it to be golden on each side.
After that, you are going to mix up the livers with your chopped walnuts and cooked bacon (fry separately to your desired doneness).
Scoop out the middle of the mushrooms turning them into little bowls, where you will put your mixed-up stuffing. Bake for 25 minutes and then it’s ready to serve.
