Method

Melt the lard in saute pan and add chicken livers, cook until just done but a little pink in centers. Remove from pan and let cool for a few minutes. In food processor combine all the ingredients except bacon and process to a puree. Place puree mixture equally into 6 or 8 rameken dishes and top each with 1/2 slice of the bacon.
