Traditional Welsh Recipes
Ffagodau Cymreig (Welsh Faggots).
These liver and onion balls are seasoned with sage and baked in stock in the oven.
| 1 lb. pig's liver |
2 medium onions |
| 3 oz shredded suet |
4 oz. fresh breadcrumbs |
| Salt and pepper |
½ pint beef stock |
| 1 teaspoon fresh sage |
(or ½ teaspoons dry sage) |
Set oven to 350°F or Mark 4. Mince the liver and onions together, preferably in a food
processor. Put into a bowl and stir in the suet, breadcrumbs, sage and seasoning to taste. Form the mixture into 12
balls with floured hands and place in a well-greased, shallow, ovenproof dish. Pour the stock into the dish. Cover
and bake for about 30 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking for a further 10 minutes or so to brown the faggots.
Remove the faggots from the dish and keep warm. The remaining gravy may then be thickened with cornflour or gravy
granules/powder, if preferred. Serve with creamed potatoes.
