Pease Pudding and Faggots image

This famous oldtime dish will warm you up on a cold night. A favourite of my clients I was asked to cook this often. Served with a rich onion gravy it is still a winner. You could serve boiled potatoes and cabbage to make a larger meal.

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb pig liver, chopped
1 lb stale bread, cubed
1/4 lb bacon fat
1 lb onion, chopped
2 teaspoons mixed herbs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons flour
6 ounces lentils, soaked
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Place the bread in a bowl and cover with warm water, leave for five minutes.
  • In a food processor mix the liver, bacon fat and the onion, do not over process, the ideal is a course mix.
  • Press the bread as dry as possible and beat with a fork till smooth, add the herbs and seasoning to the bread. Add the minced meat and mix the bread and meat well.
  • Flour hands and form the mix into largish balls , not too large!
  • Place in a lightly greased tin and bake in the oven 450 degrees till firm, about 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile put the lentils in a pan, cover with water bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer till soft. Drain the lentils and mash them adding the salt.
  • Serve the faggots on a bed of lentils with a rich onion gravy poured over. Wonderful.
