1. Cut the lard into small cubes. Wash, dry and chop the liver. Peel the onion and chop it. Wash the mushrooms and finely chop them. Heat a frying pan thoroughly, fry bacon for 2 minutes. Add liver, onion, mushrooms, crumbled bay leaf, salt and pepper. Fry quickly over high heat for 4 minutes. Remove from the heat. 2. Leave to cool completely, then put into a blender and chop into a purée. Add the breadcrumbs and egg. Stir in the mixture. 3. Wash and dry the meat and cut across the fibres into 8 pieces. Cover with cling film and give it a good beating. Rub with salt and pepper. 4. Spread the prepared filling equally on the 4 pieces of meat. Cover the remaining pieces. 5. Wrap each medallion in 2 strips of bacon crosswise. Pan-fry quickly for 3 minutes on each side. 6. Put the medallions into a pan and pour in the wine. Cook over a medium heat without a lid until the liquid has reduced by half. Turn the medallions over once. Add the hot stock, reduce the heat and cook under a lid for another 20 minutes.
