Froogs’ Fabulous Faggots

Following the excellent recipe here, I have made some faggots. They have proved to be utterly delicious [which is useful, because 5 boxes have gone into the freezer to be enjoyed later] Here they are

The liver and meat were’ yellow-stickered’ bargains [and had been in the freezer since the beginning of September] so these cost about 45p for a meal for TWO! Served with carrots and potatoes, a very cheap, but filling and nutritious meal.

I hadn’t made faggots from scratch before, but with Frugal Queen’s easy to follow instructions and the help of a food processor, it all worked really well. Thanks Froogs!

Hints and tips

Bob suggested that next time round, I might add a little nutmeg for an extra bit of flavour.

I’d unexpectedly run out of gravy granules- but improvising with with OXO cube, cornflour and a tsp of Marmite worked fine.

Keeping the recipe sheet in the toast rack on the windowsill means it is easy to read, and stays clean**

**Except that I decided to rinse out the few bits of onion and celery in the processor with some of the water I intended to use for the gravy. It is essential to ensure that the lid is fitted correctly before switching on a processor containing liquids. Otherwise there is much squealing and wiping of splashes!
