Ingredients

1 pork liver trimmed
2 1/2 lb pork shoulder
1 1/4 cups chopped sage
3 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon black pepper freshly ground
1 1/2 cups cornmeal fine
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

Put the pork shoulder and liver on a work surface. Using a butcher knife, cut into 1-inch cubes. Then put in an 8–10 quart pot and add water to cover. Simmer after bringing to a boil. 3 hours is about how long you should cook until the meat is soft.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the cooked meat from the pot while saving the cooking liquid. Sage, salt, and pepper should be added to a food processor along with the meat. Repeatedly pulse the food until it resembles a fine mince.
Re-add the minced beef to the liquid-filled pot, then heat to a boil. Cornmeal and flour should be added alternately, 14 cup at a time, with a wooden spoon until the mixture resembles batter. After 30 minutes, turn off the heat and let the food rest. After that, pour the mixture into a loaf pan and chill for 4 to 12 hours to allow it to solidify.
Place a pan over medium-high heat and stir in the sautéed livermush. Add a 1-inch slice of livermush after the oil and butter. Fry each side for 1-2 minutes, or until golden.
