Recipe for Welsh Faggots


 This is a simple recipe you can try at home for a cheap filling meal.

200g Welsh Pork Liver – minced
50g Home Smoked Bacon Minced
50g Pork Fat
50g Pork Mincemeat
1 onion cut into small dice
200g stuffing mix
50g dried bread crumbs

Ask your butcher to mince the meat products together.
Fry the onion until golden brown, drain off excess water and oil.
Put the minced meats into a large bowl and add the onion.
Mix and add the dried stuffing powder and bread crumbs.
Bind together to make balls.  Bake gently on a tray for about 20min (140C).
Wonderful with onion gravy and creamy mash potatoes.

PGI - Local, welsh and proud

This weekend brings local welsh beef from Mr Hughes, Melin-y-coed, Llanwrst via the abattoir at Llanrwst giving a total of about 6 miles for the entire journey for field to plate. Our lamb is sourced from both Mr G Jones, Llanrswt and Mrs G Roberts, Ysbyty Ifan, the latter being a little over 4 miles away giving a total journey of between 8 to 10 miles. We still await the first new season spring lamb which should be of the best quality given the current recent weather conditions. The weather is fine and blustery but at least dry - an excellent forecast for tomorrow should see some locals about enjoying their produce.
