Faggots
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
4 oz/ 110g pork shoulder, roughly chopped
4 oz/ 110g pigs liver, roughly chopped
8 oz/ 250g belly pork, roughly chopped
4 oz/ 110g bacon scraps
4 oz/ 110g bread crumbs
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/2 tsp mace
1 tsp allspice
2 tbsp chopped parsley
2 sage leaves, finely chopped
1 small red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped (optional)
salt and pepper
caul fat or streaky bacon
Method:
Preheat the oven to 445F/ 170C/ Gas 3
Mince all the roughly chopped meats, if you don't have a mincer then chop in a food processor
Place the minced meat into a large bowl. Add the breadcrumbs, onion, herbs, spices and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly
Divide the mixture into 8 and shape into balls
Wrap each ball in caul or streaky bacon. Make sure the caul or bacon overlaps as it will seal as it cooks and hold the faggots together.
Place the faggots onto a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 50 - 60 minutes.
Server the faggots hot from the oven with mashed potatoes, peas and onion gravy
