Add the flour and cook for 2-3 minutes,

stirring occasionally. Gradually stir in the

seasoning and dried mixed herbs. Reduce

the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

Make the faggots; in a large bowl mix

together the faggot ingredients and

shape into 12 golf ball-sized balls.

Transfer to a 1.2L (2pint) rectangular

ovenproof dish or roasting tin and carefully

pour over the gravy. Cover with foil and

cook in a preheated oven for 11/2-2 hours.

15 minutes before the end of the cooking

time, remove the foil and return to the oven.

Serve any leftover

faggots cold as a

sandwich filling or

with crusty bread

and a green salad

Thank you very much Egluntine. It must have taken you ages to type it out :shock: I think the preparation time of 15 mins is a bit optimistic, but they sound delish and I will try them over the weekend. Cinnamon the link to Dan's faggots doesn't seem to work any more :(

I cheated.....I copied and pasted. :lol: :lol:

 

I think it will be the same recipe as Daniels....although Cinnamons link doesn't seem to work...but it is from the "Tuck In" series.

 

I made them once at Egluntine Towers. They went down well as I recall. :lol:
