Stovies With Lorne Sausage Recipes

SCOTTISH STOVIES

Steps:

• Heat the lard or butter in a medium sized saucepan. Add the onion and fry for 10 mins over a low-medium heat until softened. Add the swede, carrot and celery and fry for 5 mins.
• Stir in the meat, if using leftover roast lamb or beef, then the potatoes. Pour over the stock and season generously, bring to the boil, then turn the heat down to a simmer. Cook covered for 1 hr 30 mins or until the vegetables have softened and the potatoes have broken down completely. If you're using corned beef, add this to the pan 20 mins before the end of cooking. Serve with oatcakes, or crusty bread

SAUSAGE & ROOT VEG STOVIE

Steps:

• Crumble half the stock cube into a mug and top up with boiling water. Stir until dissolved. Heat the oil in a frying pan, then fry the onion and sausage pieces for 5 mins until the meat is browned, but not cooked through. Tuck the vegetable chunks around the sausages and onions, season well with black pepper and salt to taste, then add 4 tbsp of the stock.
• Cover the pan with a lid or large piece of foil, making sure there are no gaps at the edges. Turn the heat to medium and leave for 25 mins until the veg are tender and the sausages cooked through. Stir at the end of cooking time - the veg will have caramelised against the bottom of the pan and almost all of the cooking liquid will have been absorbed.

STOVIES

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine potatoes and milk. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.
• While potatoes are simmering, melt butter in a skillet over medium high heat. Saute onions until soft and translucent.
• When potatoes are soft, mix in sauteed onions and corned beef. Cook an additional 10 minutes, or until heated through. Season with salt and pepper.

LORNE-STYLE FRESH BREAKFAST SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Mix together ground beef, ground pork, bread crumbs, beef broth, brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder, 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, 1 1/4 teaspoons pepper, 1 1/4 teaspoons coriander, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon allspice in a large bowl until well combined. Shape some of the mixture into 2 or 3 small patties and place remaining sausage mixture in the refrigerator.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add sausage patties and cook until browned and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side; do not overcook or sausages will be dry. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
• Taste cooked sausages, adding more salt, pepper, and/or spices to the uncooked mixture as desired. Press uncooked sausage mixture into loaf pans and place in the refrigerator until firm, 2 to 3 hours.
• Remove sausage "loaves" from the pans and slice into 1/2-inch slabs. Separate slabs with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator if you will be cooking all sausage within 4 days. Cook as directed above, over medium-low heat.
