Stovies

A traditional recipe found in Scotland and with regional variations according to local taste.
This is based on providing a portion for 4 people.



Ingredients
1 medium onion.
4-6 medium boiling potatoes.
Leftovers from beef roast.
Fat dripping from the roast collected.

Method

Slice the onion into not too small pieces but streaky longer type.
Pour the Fat Dripping into a Large saucepan and warm gently to part cook the sliced onion which has now been added.

Peel the potatoes and cut and slice into 100mm thick pieces. Add to the pan and fry gently to avoid burning.Once the potatoes are semi cooked add the leftover meat which has been cut into 12-15 bitesize chunks and continue to gently cook with the lid on the pan to retain flavour and also ensure full absorption of the meat juices into the potatoes.

Sometimes water can be added to create a more moist serving and this puts the mixture closer to mashed potatoes.

Serving Options

Standard serving with Stovies are oatcakes and a glass of cool chilled milk an absolute necessity.
Traditionally that would be it, but variations using the same basic ingredients but some additions such as carrot, and herbs and spices according to personal taste as required.
That choice is left to you to decide.
