Heat oil in a large, deep, heavy pot over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until soft and translucent but not coloured (about 5 mins). Add celery and carrots and allow to cook for a further 5 mins. Add pork and chicken livers and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until meat is still pink, then add the diced meat, stirring constantly until meat is just cooked (about 5 mins). Season with freshly grated nutmeg and clove. Add wine and allow to reduce by ¾. Then add the milk and allow to reduce by ¾. Then add the tomato paste and passata. Reduce heat to low and allow to gently simmer for 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Season to taste and serve.
