Hi,

From a young age.. I've loved Stovies and whenever I visited Scotland to see my father's side of the family. I'd always ask for some! But I don't know the recipe and don't talk to family any more. I know its got sausages and potato in it. Thats all I can remember.

Whoever helps me out here, I'll love you forever... :blushing:

    Basic but flexible ingredients for stovies
    3 lbs tatties (potatoes)
    1 large onion or 2 small
    1 lb steak mince or lamb
    or diced pieces of meat
    or cheese or vegetables
    2 ozs beef dripping or lard
    or butter or olive oil
    1/2 pint of water
    Meat stock cube or veg
    Salt to taste, and Pepper

    You don't have to be exact with the quantities

    Found this on the internet. There are more. for jo it is a sausage and potato sort of hash.

    Made some with a Scottish friend in Feb. It's basically mince and mash with veg (we used peas and carrots).

    These don't sound like the one's I had lol. My aunties one's like a watery one? With sausages, tatties and onion I think?

    Hmm, the way my friend did it was fry onions and mince together then add vegetables (carrots and peas) and season with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, make mashed potatoes in a separate pan then serve the mash and the meat stuff together. Nothing watery. She also said you could use pieces of meat instead of mince (e.g. left over roast beef from the Sunday dinner). It's basically a meal for using up leftover veg, potatoes etc.
