This is a much tastier and healthier alternative to the liver
patty Danes eat a lot of. It contains less fat all in all, but plenty
of omega-3 PUFAs. Being made with children in mind, the pie is rather
mild. Try adding extra chili, coriander, or Sichuan pepper if the pie
is served for adults only.

Cooking Instructions
1) Combine all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse
until the forcemeat (there must be better word than this in English)
is even. It can be a bit grainy, but there must be no solid pieces of
food.
2) Place the forcemeat in a flat ovenproof dish (approx. 20*15
cm), smooth the surface, and grill the pie in the oven for 10-12
minutes. Turn down the heat to 300° C and bake the pie for
another 15 minutes.
3) Leave the pie to cool for 5 minutes at room temperature
before slicing and serving.
