My recipe for Good Faggots
11/2 lbs nice fresh trimmed pigs liver ( Don't use frozen thawed its rubbish for this recipe)
2 Large white onions
4 Oz's Bread crumbs (Brown or white)
4 Oz's Atora suet or similar
1 Heaped dessert spoon dried sage
1 Teaspoon salt
1 Teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Method
Mince the liver and the onions into a mixing bowl
Add the remaining ingredients and mix well
Form into balls about the size of a tennis ball
Traditionally they were wrapped in a bit of caul (apron)
Nowadays one puts the ball into a muffin case places the case in the baking tin and pour boiling water around them.Bake them in a moderate oven Gas 4-5 for 1/2 an hour or so.
Alternatively a large 1 piece can be made by greasing a 2lb baking tin and filling with the mix place the tin in the dripping tin and pour boiling water in the tin to come about 1/2 way up the sides Then cook for an hour and test to see if the center is cooked a little over is nicer than under.Mean while put the dried peas you soaked over night into the double boiler and cook to mushy peas Serve hot faggots on a bed of mushy peas and a good rich gravy. A bit of fresh crusty bread to sop up the gravy goes down well
