Ingredients

  • 12  bacon thin
  • kg venison minced
  • small onion finely chopped
  •  pork sausage 
  • tbsp thyme sprigs fresh
  • 50 breadcrumbs fresh
  • tbsp coarse mustard 
  • tablespoon worcestershire sauce 
  •  eggs 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • oven
  • knife

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas
  2. Stretch out the bacon with the back of a knife, then trim off and finely chop any stray bits. Line a 900g loaf tin with the bacon, leaving an overhang, and set aside. Tip the rest of the ingredients into a bowl and scrunch well with your hands.
  3. Pack the mix into the tin, pat down well and wrap over the bacon.
  4. Put the tin on a tray and bake in the middle of the oven for 1 hr 15 mins or until firm and cooked through. Leave to rest for at least 15 mins, then serve sliced – or leave to cool completely and serve sliced cold for a buffet with salad, or stuffed into a roll. Either way, Cumberland sauce is a must (see tip, below).
