Vegetarians, avert your eyes now.

A Yorkshire Fry is a mix of offal and stewing meat, with herbs and onions, cooked slowly, until tender – and delicious.

Put this in a slow cooker and come home a few hours later to the most tantalizing  aroma imaginable wafting along your hallway.

This was standard fare in many Yorkshire working class homes – cheap, tasty, very easy to prepare, and nutritious.

Ingredients

• Ilb (450g/16oz) fry: a mix of heart, liver, kidneys, sweetbreads and thinly sliced stewing meat.
• 1lb (450g/16oz) chopped onions
• One level teaspoon each of freshly chopped sage, thyme and marjoram
• Salt & pepper
• 1 (20 fl oz)pint of water

Method

1. Put all the ingredients into a covered casserole
2. Cook in a slow oven until tender – about 3 hours, or longer
3. Add a little gravy browning if desired

I told you it was easy!
