   Wrap each faggot tightly in a piece of caul fat, ensuring it is fully enclosed.

   For the gravy, heat the vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.

   Aşçının notu: Whisk continuously to prevent lumps.

    Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the faggots are cooked through and the gravy is bubbling.

    Yaklaşık 1 sa.
