Last week ( or was it the week before) our local supermarket had lots of reduced price Offal. I bought three lambs hearts on one package 45p and liver ( I actually bought 5 packages because there was loads there) at 9p per package. Bunged them all into the freezer until I could decide what to do with it all.
Yesterday I decided to have a go at making faggots from some of the above. I used a variation on the one Frugal queen (blogger) has posted and it was so simple and very very tasty.
So here goes :-
1)In a large mixing bowl I added a packet of sage and onion stuffing mix and boiling water - just left that to cool a bit.
2)minced three hearts ( I did remove the pipes but not the fat) and a packet of the liver together. ( it was ox liver so I thought that might be very strong).
3)mix the meat and the cooled stuffing together and form into (billiard ball sized) balls cook in a low oven ( reg4)for about 30-40 mins.
4) cut two onions into thick slices and sprinkled over the top, followed by a thick gravy. back into the oven for another 1/2 hour .
delicious. This made 16 faggots and we used two per person... ps my OH really doesn't like offal AT ALL. Naturally I did not tell him what these were made of
