wandering mind

Reading a blog tonight which was discussing stovies. it mentioned that there are more ways of making stovies than tongue can tell and reminded me that i haven't had stovies for quite some time.
My recipe - my mothers really and probably hers before that - is this;

ingredients.

• knob of lard or beef dripping
• 4lb potatoes peeled and sliced about 5mm thick
• 1 large onion finely diced
• 1 lb of round or square sliced sausage
• salt and pepper to taste

method you'll need a large heavy bottom pan.

melt the lard or dripping in the pan

Place rest of ingredients in the pan over a medium heat and cover, stirring occassionally to make sure that nothing sticks. cook until potatoes are fairly soft.

serve as soon as its ready and enjoy it really is good and tasty.

I have substituted the dripping/lard with a drop of water to start things off there will be enough fats from the sausages to bind the dish as it cooks.

My daughter cooks them in a slow cooker wich is a great idea as it doesn't stick and burn.

I have tried the corned beef method but it's not as good. I prefer to make a pot of mashed potatoes then mash the corned beef into the potatoes we always called that corned beef hash. That too is good solid grub.

which is what I was brought up on and its what I like to eat.

Both of the above are my comfort foods.

I'll have to have stovies soon now thatr the kitchen is finished.
