For tea tonight we are having an absolute Scottish Classic which is Stovies! If you’ve never heard of Stovies before, it’s a Scottish favourite based on potatoes …
I made these….they turned out epic!
Hate watching your videos…end up being absolutely starving by the end of it 😂
That's an insane comfort food! 🥰
I can mind when my Grannie used to make stovies when the Winter was in. They were brilliant. Also on Sunday mornings we used to have Stew, Mince, Carrots, Onions and Butter Beans, cooked in a big pot, for Breakfast, with a piece n dook (a slice of bread dipped in the gravy). Aye. The good old days. Ye cannae whack it.
The Argos link for the slow cooker did not come up, but I'll keep trying!..what capacity is your slow cooker? x
Very nice, I think I would like some herbs in it, sage or rosemary perhaps
Love this dish tried it with different sausages and definitely prefer lincs
Stovies originate from the East coast, a real Tuechter meal made by agricultural workers and incorporating left overs from a joint of mutton, gifted to the workerst from the landowner. Stovies originally contained Mutton (possibly beef) ,dripping from the roasted joint, potato's and onion. And nothing else.
I'm an american w/scottish ancestry and we ate this a lot and I never knew there was a name untill I watched your recipes. We have a box version called Hamburger Helper w/potatoes. If your poor you make your own from scratch. Now I laughing because it simple but perfect meat and potatoes. Love your recipes!
I usually put a bayleaf in it aswell and half a spoon of good vinegar and a few twists of pepper.
I love this type of food, wholesome and wonderful in the winter, or any time, just makes me so hungry watching your cooking, thank you.
That looks braw. I'm sure my Mum used to put mutton and sausages in hers. Where I work they use corned beef.
Stovies have never ever been made with Sausages……..Just never.
I'm from Edinburgh and grew up with Stovies made from sausages! My nephew makes the best though! lol 😂❤
Well you have solved my problem with slow cookers, you don't have to cover the contents with liquid! My stews would always have a ton of gravy. There was me filling the pot to the brim before setting it off in the morning. Taste great but far too sloppy. Thanks. Also I'm going to have keep an eye out for beef links, I'm down in Cornwall and they are not something I have come across.
Had two recipes for stovies😍yours is best! Thanks!
Why have you Scottish been keeping this a secret from us English? I'm making it for dinner.
I grew up on the Firth of Clyde and when my Mum would make stovies it was always with slice and she would put dough buoys in it. I’ve not had them in a very long time as I became a vegetarian back in the late 80’s but I’m figuring out the best vegetarian mince to make my own slice with, so that I can 🙂
Hi lovely Cheryl. Inspired by you I just bought a slow cooker, and made this recipe as ‘the virgin” meal’ 😀 And it was soooooo lovely and my hubby was very happy and changed his mind about ‘the slow cooker being just another kitchen pot’ 🤩 Only downside for me is that the sausages I can get here are nowhere nearly as nice as the ones you can get in the UK 😒 so I’m actually thinking of making my own links next time – because this will surely be made again 💕
I am drooling 🙂 thank you!
All those variations even just within your own family prove one thing: there is never one absolutely correct authentic recipe for any of these traditional dishes. People used what there was and if it tastes good, what can be wrong?
Yum broon sauce on top👍or cornbeef hash yum 👍 I'm from dalmellington x
Hi Mrs whatsfortea ….I am Dundee born and bred but live in Australia .My youngest daughter loves sausage stovies but she calls it Sausage Casserole lol .Whatever the name it,s Stovies to me
The crispy bits burnt to the pan are the best 😊 I’m in Australia now but I’m making stovies on this rainy day. Thanks
Can't wait to make this!!😆❤️
I call this corn beef hash growing up partner calls it stovies looks lovely must try it out knowing you can make it in the slow cooker 🙂
I did this but was load of gravy left over
Any seasoning? Fresh herbs, salt and pepper?
i also stay in ayrshire and use slice 🙂
looks heaven, could i put baked beans in it?
I have the exact same slow cooker you're using but every time I try to make this, after 8 hours on low the potatoes (Maris Pipers as recommended) and carrots are still almost raw , what am I doing wrong?
Hello Michelle , did you put in salt and pepper or did I miss that ??
