2 cups flour
pinch of salt

1/4 lb. beef or chicken liver
1 rib celery 1/2 lb.
 beef
1 small carrot salt & pepper
1 small turnip

Chop liver and mix with beef. Add salt and pepper and let rest for 10-20 minutes. Peel onion and potatoes, carrot and turnip; slice thinly, and blanch in boiling water for 2-3 minutes with thinly sliced celery. Drain and season with salt & pepper. Roll out dough to 1/8 inch thickness; cut into 3 large squares. Put a layer of vegetables on half of each square and top it with meat mixture.
