Description

These traditional Welsh faggots are a hearty and comforting dish featuring minced liver mixed with suet, breadcrumbs, and aromatic sage. The mixture is formed into balls and baked until golden, resulting in a rich, savory flavor with a tender texture. They are typically served with a thick, savory gravy made from the pan drippings. This classic recipe is perfect for a cozy winter dinner or a traditional British meal. The combination of liver and onions creates a deep, umami-rich taste that pairs wonderfully with simple sides like peas or mashed potatoes. It is a rustic, homemade dish that brings authentic Welsh flavors to your table.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Wash and mince the liver finely.
  2. Peel and finely chop the onions.
  3. Dice the suet into small pieces.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the minced liver, chopped onions, diced suet, breadcrumbs, and chopped sage.
  5. Season the mixture generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
  7. Roll the mixture into small, uniform balls.
  8. Place the faggots in a large greased ovenproof dish.
  9. Cover the dish with foil and bake in a moderate oven (350&# 194;°F (177ðC) or Mark 4) for 40 minutes.
  10. Remove the foil for the last 10 minutes of cooking to allow the faggots to brown.
  11. While the faggots cook, mix flour with a little water to make a smooth paste.
  12. Stir the flour paste into the pan drippings and add boiling water to create a gravy.
  13. Add browning sauce to the gravy if desired for color.
  14. Serve the faggots hot with the gravy and peas.
