Faggots are a cheap and delicious dish, especially served with mash and mushy peas. You’ll need a mincer for this recipe and a good butcher.
Bring a large pan of water to the boil and add the diced meat. Return to the boil, then drain the meat and set aside to cool.
Preheat the oven to 150C/300F/Gas 2.
Mince the meat, add it to a bowl and stir in the onion, herbs and garlic until well combined.
Shape the mixture into six balls, lay a small bay leaf on top and wrap in the caul fat.
Sit the faggots in a roasting tray and pour in the stock. Cook the faggots in the oven for one hour.
