jok 3,397 Posted January 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 I think it must be tried. Rabbit faggots. Do everything as normal but add rabbit. Anyone tried it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jok 3,397 Posted January 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 To carry on. The batch I've just put in the oven 48, i've used venison cuts from the thing that was left in my porch LOL. My butcher thinks I'm mad, as do lots of folks, but the end result is what counts. Traditional faggots are great but with a twist they are even better. Also, unlike the butcher, I can play around with herbs etc to make something totally different. This batch. 4lbs belly pork. 2ilbs pigs liver. 2lbs venison (not rubbish) 1 larges kelsie onion, 4 large leeks. half a loaf of bread. Salt, black pepper, generous amount of sage, pinch of rosemerry and a pinch of mixed herbs. Give it all a jolly good smashing in the blender (in stages of course) then get your hands mucky. Bloody brilliant. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jok 3,397 Posted January 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Flipping heck. My garage looks like an abotoir, 10 brace birds and 21 rabbits. My mate had the other one. Looks like a busy Monday morning for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jok 3,397 Posted January 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Well that was nice. Deer delivered last night and today liver with an onion mash with black pepper and basil. Nice glass of homemade Elderflower wine. Follow that little beauty. Sorry Beam, couldn't be bothered with fancy pics. Needed to eat.LOL. The pies are pheasant done with onion, red chilli, potato and Stilton with black pepper, salt, basil, mustard seed and a sweet chilli sauce. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Gain 1,764 Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 No mate in the Midlands we don't seem to anymore. mtp. Used to but to be fair we can only get synthetic versions. Caul fat is hard to come by nowadays, don't know why as all pigs have it. Used to try the butchers but they never had it and half of them didn't even know what it was. Only place I found that did it was one of those turkish food centres, and the price of it was astronomical for what it is. Must admit that it does add a nice skin to the faggots, but only bought it the once. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jok 3,397 Posted February 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Well I said I was going to do some rabbit faggots so here they are. I'll put up my recipe first and then photos to follow. Rabbit Faggots. (My take). 6 pairs rabbit back legs (loins already in pies) LOL Approx 100gms. Pigs liver approx 75 gms Belly port approx 75 gms 1 large onion. 3 sticks celery. 1 large leek approx 1 pint stale bread crumbs. An egg. Pinch of the following : mustard seed/parsley/basil/Rosemary/ and a good dose of sage. Salt and black pepper. Now to be fair there must be technical terms but I just work on the theory of blitzing it all in the blender to make a nice thick mix. Then it,s only a matter of forming tennis ball size faggots, into trays, oven preheated at 165 for 45 mins. Enjoy. As I say photos will be along soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jok 3,397 Posted February 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Whilst waiting for the faggots to cook I dressed these woodies for the butcher. Better than presenting him with a bowl of breast meat I think? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jok 3,397 Posted February 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Yes Tiercel I sort of agree. However my wife's mum was Greek and she taught us the tradition dishes which is with whole birds. We'll see what the butcher says. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
