Looks fantastic. It's really interesting to me to see how closely your dishes align with the traditional Appalachian dishes I grew up with. The region was heavily settled by Scots (as well as Irish and English), but I've always heard that the mountains here reminded them of home and that's why they picked it. Loving your channel! With Christmas coming up, I must ask, do you ever make tablet?
I had to look at the map to find Glasgow! I'm actually in southern Ohio, right across the river from Kentucky (most family popped over the river in the early 1900s), but my closest EVERYTHING, distance-wise, is in either Kentucky or West Virginia. More the coal-fields "Hillbilly Days" festival than Highland-games awesomness, which sounds very cool. Do the dishes our lovely channel hostess makes smack of home cooking to you, too?
Hi Amalie, yes I imagine there would be lots of similarities :) especially with the food and language. Certain words and phrases spoken by the Appalachians, such as 'poke' (meaning bag) is also used in Scotland :) I do make tablet, and uploaded the recipe a while back....if you click this link, then It will take you straight there: ruclips.net/video/OGHuUVLjwlM/видео.html Thanks for stopping by x
Yes, we say poke! Not always, but I've heard it used plenty. I think I only discovered your channel about a month ago, and when I was prowling through, missed your tablet. Going to look now, thank you! :) We don't make it, but earlier in the year I was looking for traditional Christmas recipes for a book where the hero was a Scot, and have been madly curious ever since :)
I made this recipe for my elderly Scottish mother (we live in Australia) and the look on her face was priceless. It took her back to her childhood. Even her accent got thicker. Absolutely delicious, thank you. Subbed!
Believe it or not I got quite emotional watching this; been away from Scotland for nearly 25 years now and haven't had stovies since I left. Brought back all kinds of memories from when I was a bairn. It's one of those things that make us who we are! Will be making this recipe shortly - thanks for making this video :)
It made me emotional as well. I live in Canada, and my Granny was from Scotland. She passed away last year at 97, and this is the dish that reminds me of her. We would go to her house on Sundays for stovies, and she passed the recipe on to me. 💞
My Scottish Granny passed away last year at 97. Every Sunday we went to her house for stovies for dinner. As much as we all loved it, we never cooked it for ourselves. The treat was having her stovies on Sunday. She passed her recipe on to me, and I've already made it a couple of times for family potlucks. That recipe is definitely a part of our family history. 💞
Terri MacKay same! When my grandma was alive she was the only person who made them. If my mum ever made them I’d always say “nope they’re not grandmas stovies” Now she’s not here my mum makes them but they’re not the same
@@michellecolledge2355 My Granny would serve it with her homemade chips, and beans and beets for whoever wanted them. I'm a bean person...I've just never been able to get onboard the beet train. 😄 I don't serve it with any sides, because I take it to family potlucks, so there's always lots of other food.
I love good stovies. Your recipe is identical to mine, apart from... Beef dripping instead of salted butter and good beef stock, that is how I always make my stovies. Both add devastatingly well to the overall end flavour. I also like to leave mine overnight in the fridge before eating them. That lets all the flavours come together beautifully. As a Scot from Broughty Ferry and now living in Rotterdam, stovies are still one of my all time nostalgic comfort foods. Irrestistable when done right.
You can’t beat the basic cooking for a nourishing meal. Stick to the plan and you can’t go wrong. Some people will tweet this recipe by adding different spices and sauces but the meal will never compare to the original recipe. So well done! I’ve made it and it’s delicious! So moorish that I’ll be making another pot this weekend, so many thanks for sharing and a happy new year to you from 🏴🎊🎊🍷
Just discovered this channel. Perfect for me. Clear explanation, good visuals to show me what it should look like. As a poor cook, I'm delighted with this. My mum was an Irish lady so one pot dishes were commonplace when we were kids. This sort of food brings back memories. Thank you.
That's been a huge debate in our home. Half My family is from Aberdeen. My mother swears by corn beef while My grandfather swears by mince (ground beef).
@@gabriellefagan1014 take a tin of Heinz beans, chop a small onion and 120gr mushrooms, sweat the onion and mushroom, add the beans. Add 2 tablespoons of worcheshire sauce, and have that on toast. Or a jacket potato, grate some cheese on top. Its magic 👍
@@davidstorton910 That's what Me and My mother use. It's the way she made them in Aberdeen before moving to the states. We use oxo cubes and dont usually add turnip. Everything else in this recipe we use the same aside from oxo cubes and no turnip. Having them tonight and I'm fairly excited. I swear I have a large man trapped in a skinny guys body haha.
Making this tonight. Love this channel. Half of My family are from Aberdeen and we're making this for our 86 years old grandfather tonight (he hasn't had it since he moved to the states). He has dementia now but fondly remembers having stovies when he was in Aberdeen so we're hoping this brings a bit of home to his dinner plate. Only difference is we're using some oxo cubes. This channel will make My grandfather a happy man. Thanks again for bringing a bit of Scotland back to our table here in the states 😊♥️🏴.
Oh my goodness! I just discovered a new "comfort food" dish! Thank you luv for sharing this recipe!😋 Much love from Michigan, USA. May God bless you & yours. 🌹
I live in the US and I absolutely love watching your show I hope you continue to give us true traditional Scottish meals I also enjoy the drive to Scotland on your way to the grocery store keep up the good work I hope to see more soon
I'm in Edinburgh and I was brought up on Scottish Fare. My family never put meat in until the end and we used only 3 ingredients to start Potatoes diced, Onions diced and Lard( Beef Dripping) rather than Butter with Salt then after that was cooked either Corned Beef or Sausages were added if wanted. I used to put my Stovies on a slice of Plain Bread not Pan Bread as I liked the crusts with HP brown Sauce.
As an old fart Scotsman born and raised in Aberdeen, now living in California. This made me smile. Between my grannie, mum and aunty Margaret, they all taught me to cook or left lasting impressions that I can improvise on. Nobody in my lifetime has made Stovies from Scratch. It's always from leftovers, never the same twice 😉 However, great recipe and I enjoyed the video 🤗😋
I AM ABERDEEN BORN AND BRED NEAR 80YRS AGO I AM LOOKING FOR A RECIPIE ON HOW TO COOK STOVIES IN A NEW FANGLED IDEA OD AN AIR FRYER BUT CAT FIND ONE SO IT IS BACK TO THE AULD TATTIE POT WE GOT IN A WEDDING PRESEN 60YRAGO
I am so glad you made this recipe! In Mexico, we have a similar dish called "picadillo" . Instead of using root vegetables, we use tomato. It's a lovely dish for a cold day. We eat it with white bread. Delicious!
Made these stovies twice. Once w ground beef. And today w Carne asada beef. This dish is terrific. I'll try the sausage version next time. Only had turnips (the ,US turnip not the same as in Scotland- those are rutabagas hete in the US, I couldn't find any) but they turned out great. Thanks so much for all your recipes! So happy I found your channel!
This is a favorite in my household, thanks to you! Gives my husband a taste of home and my daughter has requested it every week! Have a lovely week! xx
I've never had stovies before. I made this recipe today and it was so good! I threw a couple of extra spuds in, and a beef stock pot. Easy to cook, really tasty, and very filling. Going to get some oatcakes tomorrow to enjoy with the leftovers (if they survive until then!) I will definitely be making this again soon. Thanks for sharing another great recipe! 😊 💕
5*. I not only enjoyed watching your no- nonsense, straight forward video; this is a great recipe. I've always wanted to try stovies, now I know what I've been missing. Thank you for posting.
From Texas 💙 when I went to Scotland for the first time in 2018 a church made me some stovies and when they told me to put some jam they made in it I looked at them crazy lol but oh my goodness it was soooo good. I loved Scotland and cried leaving, I will be going back one day
I love all your recipes, reminds me of my gran's cooking when I was a lad. Miss those meals, haven't had them in donkeys years. My gran was Scottish, most of my family is from Nova Scotia.
I bumped into the word "stovies" on a Brittish cycling-related youtube-channel, in a video where two Brittish chaps were riding a long route on bicycles in Scotland. I believe one of them was Scottish, actually. (English is not my first language) Then I searched for "stovies" on youtube, and landed on this channel. I memorized the recipe by watching your video twice, and as I was cooking, I kept hearing your soothing voice and your lovely accent in my head! :D On top of that, it turned out to be simply delicious. Hearty, healthy food for a body that needs energy and protein. Thank you so much for your videos! I can't keep myself from telling that when I read a book about camping and trekking as a child, it was a Baden-Powell-inspired book translated in my language, and I was terrified to read that two of my regular meal times were simply called "tea". I didn't like tea at the time, and could not imagine how people could survive with just tea as your breakfast and another meal... You live and you learn! :)
My uncle Douglas called this company stew, because if unexpected people showed up. My aunt would add extra potatoes or peas. No one left the table hungry.
Very similar to scouse,I use diced lamb and beef mince,topped of with beetroot or pickled cabbage, delish Always better the next day ithink Gonna try ur method looks Lovely
Love this recipe. I tweaked it a tiny bit as I had no turnips. I used swede, carrots and garden peas. Added a beef stockpot to the water. Plus some tomato puree, Worcester sauce, handful mixed herbs. Thank you so much for this great recipe.
I love seeing the different versions of stovies. We've always used mince in my house but I always feel it's a bit too similar to mince and tatties. Maybe one day I'll work up the courage to serve the sausage version!!
Keep it entirely as it is and then add 2 handfuls of slow cooked BBQ pork or braised beef. Melts in the mouth along with the great textures from the stovies!!
Definitely try the sausage version, you won’t be disappointed, make sure to add plenty of white or black pepper, adds to the flavour and is delicious! Use a good quality sausage like Richmonds or a Butchers best.
I made this dish today and the whole family loved it....have recently found your channel and am sooo impressed with all that you cook....tomorrow I am making your creamy chicken soup!...thank you Cheryl x
Came for your Scottish shortbread recipe...(will give that a try soon), stayed for your warm welcome, comments while cooking and your soothing voice. Plus, you have so many scrumptious looking recipes to choose from. Yeah, I'm gonna be here awhile. I love traditional, home-style recipes, and strive to try (at least twice) any new recipe just as it's provided. Then, maybe editing to personal preference such as + /- spice or swapping out one meat for another. Thanks, now going to check out your meals of the week. Gotta make my shopping list anyway.. see you again. LK
I do my stovies with link sausages. I enjoy the flavour better and the more black pepper and salt over every layer of sliced potatoes the better the flavour. 🤤 I build it in the pot like a lasagne. Onion, carrot & turnip layer, sliced potato layer salt and pepper, sausage layer then gravy, and repeat until the pot is full. The kids love it and it’s cheap, cheerful and filling! Great for those on a budget. PS your recipes have been a godsend to me since i moved to the middle east! A huge thank you! ❤
My mother always made Stovies with the leftover Sunday beef joint. It was a lot thicker and darker than the one you made. She also served it with oatcakes. We would have a dollop on our plate, then make a well in the middle, and pour in strong oxo. Delicious.
This dish and the way you prepared it - and even the acknowledgement to the cat - reminds me of me luvly Liverpudlian mum. Miss you, Mom. Happy Christmas. xoxox
My granny used to make this with sausage I miss it as we now live in the USA and have never found a recipe for it glad I came across you site . I am going to try and make it thIs week thanks again from a Scottish lass from the USA.👍
Wonderful recipe....I let it cool & then made pies out of this in my piemaker. All gone before I could blink lol so thank you so much as this will be a repeat meal in my home.
I think corned beef would be perfect.! wonder if pickled beet slices would overpower the stovies? On to your oat cake recipe! Your videos are not only easy to follow, they’re cheerful and warm; as important in Minnesota as Scotland!
I made this for our supper tonight, I added a few more root vegetables including sweet potato from my garden and used home canned beef stock. I also used your oat cake recipe to serve with it. I also made a Ginger bread for dessert. This recipe is simple yet Amazing ! Thank you we really enjoyed this meal. This is a recipe my husband has requested I keep making. Thank you again
Total Jasper What's for tea fan! Great vid, I love a great deal of these recipes. Reminds me of my Mom's cooking. My Dad was English/Scottish, so home style cooking! Lol
Thank you so much for this recipe! I have cooked this for me and my girlfriend at least 4 or 5 times just within the last 3-4 Weeks. Perfect comfort food when the days are getting colder, and shorter. Since i didn't have beetroot or turnips on hand, i swapped out the turnips for parsnips, and served it with some pickeld cucumbers! Also some nutmeg goes really well in this dish :)
I used to work in a scrap yard and 1 day i made this for everyone in the yard now being half scottish you can't beat a big bowl of stovies .any come dinner in the kitchen we went every one looked at it and said what is this one said it looked like sick ..just try it i said ..everyone went up second helpings...not bad for half Scottish..see your eyes decive you
My grunnie always made stovies on a Monday. She used the left over beef or chicken and gravy and any veg etc. She didn't like peely-wally stovies as she called them. Her stovies were lush and served with oatcakes, pickled beetroot and broon sauce if preferred.. No matter what i do or try, mine never tastes like my beloved grunnie's did. Will defo try the steak mince ones. Thankyou for the upload, greatly appreciated. :)
I made this last night and we liked it. I didn't have the turnip/parsnips, but I just added a little bit more of carrot and a little bit of beef broth. I didn't plan ahead yesterday and wanted something new and this hit the spot. With it we had a can of Pilsbury croissants. Thank you for the recipe.
Yeah sliced square sausage or slice as it's called Scotland and some good sausages .The best 😋my granny added some baked beans at the end .Believe me it made it even tastier x
I've read every book by the Scottish author Stuart MacBride, and he has often mentioned Stovies, in his novels, amongst other delights, but i never quite got what they were until now. thank you for this recipe.
Well .my granny used to grill square onion sliced sausage and sausages .make a wee stock of beef cubes onions and carrot .add the sliced sausage .sausages .and thick sliced potatoes and when potatoes were falling apart thicken with cornflour .sometimes she would add baked beans .It was amazing .There are so many versions but I loved this .Your is great aswell Cheryl .just a wee idea for a change .😊
Thanks for sharing. I had this growing up in Fife many many years ago and if I close my eyes I can still remember the wonderful smell. Mum made the sausage version as well. In your words, to die for! I'll have to see if I can find your video of the sausage version and give it a try!!
Oh my gosh! I grew up eating mince and tatties but it didnt look like this! Your version looks so yummie! The women in my family would have one pot of boiled tatties and one of boiled minced beef with carrots and onions. The meat pot was so runny and bland.. as a kid i added cornstarch.. hot sauce.. anything to make it more appetizing. Haven't had mince and tatties for years but you've inspired me! Thank you!
Just tried this but used veggie mince and some Marmite and soy sauce to give it a beef flavour. Never made stovies like this before as coming from Aberdeen it was always just brown some onions, ad some chunks of potatoe and a little water,then simmer untill the potatoes are soft. Then when potatoes are soft thicken with beef gravy granuels and then ad some corned beef. It's turned out very nice. Will make again. Thanks.
My Grandmother made this for us when we were kids. She grew up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. But this is definitely the same recipe. I have been missing this and now that I know the recipe I will make it.
I love your channel. People in Ireland and Scotland (my age anyways) seem almost embarrassed of their own cuisine but as an immigrant I find it so interesting. Gonna try and make some, wish me luck
My grannie and my mum made stovies with the ends of the roast. Brown the onions and add the chopped up roast. Add boiled tatties and any left over gravy. Yum! I was born in Portsoy (not far from Elgin) but live in Vancouver Canada now. Grannie made tablet on a Prius stove in front of a coal fire and sold it, with all proceeds to the Salvation Army. I used to make it but it is too “moreish” to have around. Love watching for the old recipes and listening to the home accent.
That looks GORGEOUS, I'd be tempted to stick a bit of Bisto into it for brown gravy, but I can eat Mince & Spuds with root veg any day of the week, every day come to that lol.
My mum used to make this and just called it Savoury Mince. It was a family favourite and we'd have it on buttered toast or with toast, bread and butter or damper on the side. It was a great meal for a large family on a very small budget (but a good veggie garden) because it went such a long way, was very tasty and if there was any left over, made a smashing breakfast.
My granny in Aberdeen always made it with left over meat from the Sunday roast. I like your version too but I use vegan ground. From a homesick Scot thank you for posting
My mum was Scottish so great memories of this. We always enjoyed the joke of tight Scots saying to visitors, “You’ll have had your tea?” Meaning don’t expect to get fed here!
Great recipe, looks delicious. So glad you didn’t advocate adding a crumbled beef stock cube or Worcestershire sauce !! You just don’t need to add all that synthetic flavour with lovely lean mince and tasty root vegetables 👍👍
A similar dish was a family staple for us back in the 70's. It used to vary depending on what my Mum had, something from the butcher, various root vegetables and potatoes and an oxo cube. It was cooked in a pressure cooker, and regardless of which meat or veg was used was called pressure cooker stew. It was the first family meal I cooked , under supervision, at 12 years old.
I used one oxo when I browned the mince and onions. It was delicious. I even put it up on my FB which is unusual for me. Plenty of compliments. I'm making more next week thanks for some good old Scottish cooking techniques. I will be trying the Macaroni cheese next
54years ago was the last time I ate stovies. Thank you for bringing them into my life again.I,m going to share them with my Aussie family and friends. Good on you.

Love stovies. My mum used to make them with a tin of corned beef. She was from Dundee, Scotland. ❤ from 🇦🇺
my mum used to make them with cornbeef as well and im from dundee as well
That's been a huge debate in our home. Half My family is from Aberdeen. My mother swears by corn beef while My grandfather swears by mince (ground beef).
Cornbeef for stoves.. Mince for tatties and mince, I'm from dundee.
I think corned beef would be perfect.!
My Mum was from Dundee too. I still have some family there.
I'd use beef stock instead of water, it's great to add a few tablespoons of worcheshire sauce 15 minuets before it finishes cooking.
Me too, I think some Oxo cubes would liven that up no end

I can't keep myself from telling that when I read a book about camping and trekking as a child, it was a Baden-Powell-inspired book translated in my language, and I was terrified to read that two of my regular meal times were simply called "tea". I didn't like tea at the time, and could not imagine how people could survive with just tea as your breakfast and another meal... You live and you learn! :)
My Scottish neighbour in Canada ate this for Xmas dinner to the amazement of his turkey eating wife and kids 🤔🇨🇦
Regina Saskatchewan here..... originally from Lanarkshire SCotland!!..... Stovies and tatties n mince.... canny whack it!!
I love your name!
My uncle Douglas called this company stew, because if unexpected people showed up. My aunt would add extra potatoes or peas. No one left the table hungry.
Brilliant! :) I love that
Nice
Very similar to scouse,I use diced lamb and beef mince,topped of with beetroot or pickled cabbage, delish
Always better the next day ithink
Gonna try ur method looks
Lovely
Hiya :) I just done a recipe for Scouse! Check out my new videos...I done it last week x
Love this recipe.
I tweaked it a tiny bit as I had no turnips.
I used swede, carrots and garden peas.
Added a beef stockpot to the water. Plus some tomato puree, Worcester sauce, handful mixed herbs.
Thank you so much for this great recipe.
I love seeing the different versions of stovies. We've always used mince in my house but I always feel it's a bit too similar to mince and tatties. Maybe one day I'll work up the courage to serve the sausage version!!
Keep it entirely as it is and then add 2 handfuls of slow cooked BBQ pork or braised beef. Melts in the mouth along with the great textures from the stovies!!
Definitely try the sausage version, you won’t be disappointed, make sure to add plenty of white or black pepper, adds to the flavour and is delicious! Use a good quality sausage like Richmonds or a Butchers best.
I made this dish today and the whole family loved it....have recently found your channel and am sooo impressed with all that you cook....tomorrow I am making your creamy chicken soup!...thank you Cheryl x
So glad I saw this. It reminded me of my grandmother's cooking. Simple, comforting and delicious.
Nothing better in the winter!!! ive had a 100 different recipes from all over scotland...all awesome
Came for your Scottish shortbread recipe...(will give that a try soon), stayed for your warm welcome, comments while cooking and your soothing voice. Plus, you have so many scrumptious looking recipes to choose from. Yeah, I'm gonna be here awhile. I love traditional, home-style recipes, and strive to try (at least twice) any new recipe just as it's provided. Then, maybe editing to personal preference such as + /- spice or swapping out one meat for another. Thanks, now going to check out your meals of the week. Gotta make my shopping list anyway.. see you again. LK
Thanks so much for your lovely comments x
I do my stovies with link sausages. I enjoy the flavour better and the more black pepper and salt over every layer of sliced potatoes the better the flavour. 🤤 I build it in the pot like a lasagne. Onion, carrot & turnip layer, sliced potato layer salt and pepper, sausage layer then gravy, and repeat until the pot is full. The kids love it and it’s cheap, cheerful and filling! Great for those on a budget. PS your recipes have been a godsend to me since i moved to the middle east! A huge thank you! ❤
My husband loved it! Thanks so much for sharing! I absolutely will make this again and again! Watching from El Reno, Oklahoma. 😊
My mother always made Stovies with the leftover Sunday beef joint. It was a lot thicker and darker than the one you made. She also served it with oatcakes. We would have a dollop on our plate, then make a well in the middle, and pour in strong oxo. Delicious.
This dish and the way you prepared it - and even the acknowledgement to the cat - reminds me of me luvly Liverpudlian mum.
Miss you, Mom. Happy Christmas. xoxox
My granny used to make this with sausage I miss it as we now live in the USA and have never found a recipe for it glad I came across you site . I am going to try and make it thIs week thanks again from a Scottish lass from the USA.👍
Wonderful recipe....I let it cool & then made pies out of this in my piemaker. All gone before I could blink lol so thank you so much as this will be a repeat meal in my home.
I,m a Scot that,s lived away from home for ten years.My mouth is watering it looks amazing!xx
Thanks for your lovely comment :) x
I think corned beef would be perfect.! wonder if pickled beet slices would overpower the stovies? On to your oat cake recipe! Your videos are not only easy to follow, they’re cheerful and warm; as important in Minnesota as Scotland!
I made this for our supper tonight, I added a few more root vegetables including sweet potato from my garden and used home canned beef stock. I also used your oat cake recipe to serve with it. I also made a Ginger bread for dessert. This recipe is simple yet Amazing ! Thank you we really enjoyed this meal. This is a recipe my husband has requested I keep making. Thank you again
Total Jasper What's for tea fan! Great vid, I love a great deal of these recipes. Reminds me of my Mom's cooking. My Dad was English/Scottish, so home style cooking! Lol

haw, its the Broons!!.... geroot here ahn gee uza haun wea it wull yea?.... *translate that Glaswegians!!
Thank you so much for this recipe! I have cooked this for me and my girlfriend at least 4 or 5 times just within the last 3-4 Weeks. Perfect comfort food when the days are getting colder, and shorter. Since i didn't have beetroot or turnips on hand, i swapped out the turnips for parsnips, and served it with some pickeld cucumbers! Also some nutmeg goes really well in this dish :)
I used to work in a scrap yard and 1 day i made this for everyone in the yard now being half scottish you can't beat a big bowl of stovies .any come dinner in the kitchen we went every one looked at it and said what is this one said it looked like sick ..just try it i said ..everyone went up second helpings...not bad for half Scottish..see your eyes decive you
My grunnie always made stovies on a Monday. She used the left over beef or chicken and gravy and any veg etc. She didn't like peely-wally stovies as she called them. Her stovies were lush and served with oatcakes, pickled beetroot and broon sauce if preferred.. No matter what i do or try, mine never tastes like my beloved grunnie's did. Will defo try the steak mince ones. Thankyou for the upload, greatly appreciated. :)
Absolutely beautiful and easy to follow - thank you
I am enjoying the recipes and the scenery as well, Beautiful!
Thank you Kris, lovely to see you and thanks for stopping by x
I made this last night and we liked it. I didn't have the turnip/parsnips, but I just added a little bit more of carrot and a little bit of beef broth. I didn't plan ahead yesterday and wanted something new and this hit the spot. With it we had a can of Pilsbury croissants. Thank you for the recipe.
Thanks for this video. I like stovies but I LOVE LOVE LOVE listening to Scots. Greetings from the Bavarian Highlands (alpine belt) 🏴💙🏴
Really nice, thank you Mrs Watts Fort-Tee.
Loved this when ma auld Granda Charlie made this for us when we were wains.
Thank you for this recipe. My husband loves it!
👋💗😊🇦🇺 My grandparents were Scottish from Glasgow. Love your channel.
My dad used to love this and his preferred meat was with Sausages.
Yeah sliced square sausage or slice as it's called Scotland and some good sausages .The best 😋my granny added some baked beans at the end .Believe me it made it even tastier x
I've read every book by the Scottish author Stuart MacBride, and he has often mentioned Stovies, in his novels, amongst other delights, but i never quite got what they were until now. thank you for this recipe.
Love this. Great traditional cooking. No fuss NO faff but great taste and so filling. Xx
Well .my granny used to grill square onion sliced sausage and sausages .make a wee stock of beef cubes onions and carrot .add the sliced sausage .sausages .and thick sliced potatoes and when potatoes were falling apart thicken with cornflour .sometimes she would add baked beans .It was amazing .There are so many versions but I loved this .Your is great aswell Cheryl .just a wee idea for a change .😊
Thanks for sharing. I had this growing up in Fife many many years ago and if I close my eyes I can still remember the wonderful smell. Mum made the sausage version as well. In your words, to die for! I'll have to see if I can find your video of the sausage version and give it a try!!
Oh my gosh! I grew up eating mince and tatties but it didnt look like this! Your version looks so yummie! The women in my family would have one pot of boiled tatties and one of boiled minced beef with carrots and onions. The meat pot was so runny and bland.. as a kid i added cornstarch.. hot sauce.. anything to make it more appetizing. Haven't had mince and tatties for years but you've inspired me! Thank you!
Just discovered this channel. Brilliant down home cooking, this is what home is all about.
Gonna try this version looks amazing. The Geordie version is similar but with added cabbage peas leak on a slow cook. Thanks.
Just tried this but used veggie mince and some Marmite and soy sauce to give it a beef flavour. Never made stovies like this before as coming from Aberdeen it was always just brown some onions, ad some chunks of potatoe and a little water,then simmer untill the potatoes are soft. Then when potatoes are soft thicken with beef gravy granuels and then ad some corned beef. It's turned out very nice. Will make again. Thanks.
My Grandmother made this for us when we were kids. She grew up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. But this is definitely the same recipe. I have been missing this and now that I know the recipe I will make it.
Lovely hen, your such a great wee cook and I’ve tried a lot of your recipes,some I’d forgotten about 😄😄
I love your channel. People in Ireland and Scotland (my age anyways) seem almost embarrassed of their own cuisine but as an immigrant I find it so interesting. Gonna try and make some, wish me luck
I believe you are simply Brilliant! I absolutely love each and every recipe I have tried.
This has just popped up on my feed !! Thank you Cheryl !!
My grannie and my mum made stovies with the ends of the roast. Brown the onions and add the chopped up roast. Add boiled tatties and any left over gravy. Yum! I was born in Portsoy (not far from Elgin) but live in Vancouver Canada now. Grannie made tablet on a Prius stove in front of a coal fire and sold it, with all proceeds to the Salvation Army. I used to make it but it is too “moreish” to have around. Love watching for the old recipes and listening to the home accent.
I just made this today. It turned out very well. I have been cooking for 30 years and I have never used turnips in anything until today.
That looks GORGEOUS, I'd be tempted to stick a bit of Bisto into it for brown gravy, but I can eat Mince & Spuds with root veg any day of the week, every day come to that lol.
Mmmmmm… What a wonderful recipe I could almost taste it when you dish it out…!
Lovely when you make a piece with a slice of Mother's Pride.
Unfortunately I can't get plain bread here in NZ. Love the outsiders!
Stovies is the ultimate comfort food! ❤️
I love a good mince, I know what I'm making tomorrow night! Thank you for sharing.
@Richard Peddie Thank you for the correction.😊
My mum made these with potatoes, onions and beef dripping. AtvUni the Union made them using the left overs from Sunday roast dinner
Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes, you have the voice of an angel. God Bless You 🙏✝️❤️
My mum used to make this and just called it Savoury Mince. It was a family favourite and we'd have it on buttered toast or with toast, bread and butter or damper on the side. It was a great meal for a large family on a very small budget (but a good veggie garden) because it went such a long way, was very tasty and if there was any left over, made a smashing breakfast.
My granny in Aberdeen always made it with left over meat
from the Sunday roast. I like your version too but I use
vegan ground. From a homesick Scot thank you for posting
i hope its made from real Vegan!!!
My mum was Scottish so great memories of this. We always enjoyed the joke of tight Scots saying to visitors, “You’ll have had your tea?” Meaning don’t expect to get fed here!
Great recipe, looks delicious. So glad you didn’t advocate adding a crumbled beef stock cube or Worcestershire sauce !! You just don’t need to add all that synthetic flavour with lovely lean mince and tasty root vegetables 👍👍
A similar dish was a family staple for us back in the 70's. It used to vary depending on what my Mum had, something from the butcher, various root vegetables and potatoes and an oxo cube. It was cooked in a pressure cooker, and regardless of which meat or veg was used was called pressure cooker stew.
It was the first family meal I cooked , under supervision, at 12 years old.
I used one oxo when I browned the mince and onions. It was delicious. I even put it up on my FB which is unusual for me. Plenty of compliments. I'm making more next week thanks for some good old Scottish cooking techniques. I will be trying the Macaroni cheese next
This looks fabulous! will make it this week..thank you!
looks like the perfect dish for a cold night ;) thanks for sharing
54years ago was the last time I ate stovies. Thank you for bringing them into my life again.I,m going to share them with my Aussie family and friends. Good on you.
Looks really good for a cold winter day! I will have to try it. 🙂
That looks so very very delicious!!! Yummy recipe! Thank you for sharing! 😍
We ate this growing up at least once a week. I loved it.
