Stovies With Lorne Sausage Food

TRADITIONAL SCOTTISH STOVIES RECIPE

Steps:

• Dice the onion and any peel and chop any extra potatoes you might need, plus a carrot if using.
• Roughly dice your beef or a substitute meat like sausages.
• Add Beef dripping or a substitute fat to a large hot pan.
• Add the onion to the hot fat in a layer, allow them to change colour but not to brown.
• Add the diced meat to the pan as a layer on top of the onions once they begin to change colour. Stir together. Note: If using Corned Beef then add at the end and stir through to warm up other than at this point.
• Add potatoes and any other vegetables to the mix, on top of the meat but do not stir together.
• If required make up your stock, adding the beef jelly to the mix and stirring to combine.
• Pour the stock into the pot. It should come to just below the top layer of vegetables so add more or less as necessary. Do not stir but leave everything in layers.
• Bring to the boil
• Once boiling turn down to a low simmer and cover.
• Cook for 45-60 minutes until the potatoes begin to soften and break down. Test them with a knife to see if they're ready.
• Season with salt and pepper. Only stir at this point, so that the onion caramelises and the potatoes break down when you stir.
• Serve with oatcakes or crusty bread.

SCOTTISH LORNE SAUSAGES: SQUARE BREAKFAST SAUSAGE!

Steps:

• Lorne Sausage.
• Put everything in big bowl together and give it a really good mix by hand. Then ideally put the mix into a loaf tin or rectangular pan about 10" x 4" x 3".
• Put the sausage meat block in the freezer for a little while until it's just starting to set. Remove it from the tin and cut the sausage block into the thickness of slices you prefer.
• Put the slices, separated by cling film, into freezer bags and put them back in the freezer.
• To Serve.
• When required, defrost and grill or fry in a little fat or oil until brown and crispy on the outside, and cooked through.
• Serve with bacon and eggs for breakfast. Serve with chips and baked beans for a larger meal. Traditionally served in a bread roll ("roll on sausage" in Scotland) as a morning-after recovery aid, laced with HP Brown Sauce.

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.
