Scottish Stovies

[@Timknight1946]

Tried a few different recipes for this over past last year but nothing compares to this one for ease of cooking and flavour. The very best for a real single guy. Have on a regular basis, especially in the winter.

What a lovely look down memory lane ..... my Grandma used to make stovies for us kids and Gramps ,I remember the smell of it cooking when I came home from school on a winters day ...... it was like a warm hug ,it was delish too espcially with a chunk of Grandma's homemade bread to ''mop up'' .... Thank you so much for making me smile today and ''nudging'' into making stovies some time this week xx

[@Poppy-sf1uj]

Wow that looks gorgeous mate! Keep your videos coming they’re so relaxing and your such a nice down to earth lad 👍🏻😊

[@laurenpiantino8312]

It looks delicious, and healthy with the onions, carrots and garlic too. :)

[@stewartmackay]

I'm a Scotsman living on a Greek island and watching you cook this, and now I'm STARVING!! Looks delicious.

[@charlotteb7433]

You have come a long way, most impressed with your progress....your Stovies looked delicious...and, what's more, you appear to be a nice clean cook!

[@Timknight1946]

One of the originals, and still one of the very best. My favourite “go-to” recipe when I’m unsure what to cook. I still have this 2 or 3 times a month (I make a large batch which I freeze). Hurry back Dad, you are sorely missed.

[@davidmurphy816]

Looks lovely 😋, I always use sliced sausage in my stovies & a bit more tattie , will try out your method for a wee change.👍

This looks gorgeous! Deep brown, hearty and comforting with plenty of gravy!! Will definitely try this out - thank you and all good wishes for you and yours SD! ✌🏻🙏🏻🥣

I made this today after watching this video. It was outstanding. Thankyou so much for posting it.

[@lonniecurl7670]

Looks absolutely delicious

Nostalgia,always sausage,delicious ,but no garlic!!you have some great old fashioned recipes x x

[@truckertom3323]

Very nice looking at the end.

[@celticbarry9877]

I put about 600g sausages, potato, turnip and carrot slightly more of each than the sausages and a red onion, 3 oxo cubes and a chicken stock cube, a little teaspoon amount of tomato puree, black pepper and a pinch of hot chilli powder and a sprinkle of like dried italian herbs. I fry the sausages in a pan sometimes square sausages, sometimes links sometimes a mix of both but I prefer square or beef links, while they fry I prepare the rest frying the onion in the bottom of the pot while I cut the rest. Then add it all in, bring to the boil and then simmer on the lowest heat for 2-3 hours sometimes at the end I add beef bisto or turkey bisto or a mix of both to thicken it a bit if it needs it. I like to cut everything to about 1 square inch or a little smaller about the same size you did the carrots.

[@johnconlon9652]

Brilliant. A student in Edinburgh in 1968, an Irishman from Preston, Lancashire, a new pal taught me this. We didn't know about garlic or herbs (qelle disastre!). And corned beef. Served in pubs at lunchtime in those days Haggis was a revelation. The "Butchers on Bundock", Townsville, Queensland, Australia used to make their own. Now in Tasmania, in an Australia in decline. Real black pudding available occasionally. Slante! ☘👅

[@Timknight1946]

This is lovely, tried with and without garlic and herbs and think it better without them, just the natural taste. Become a staple part of my diet. Thanks👌👍

[@mrdeafa25]

I often wondered what Stovies was. Now I can make it too thanks to you.

[@stephenmackey4571]

Most enjoyable mate , thanks.

[@andreabelcham9009]

I loved stovies when I was growing up! My mom told me my Granny used to make it on Mondays, using left over Sunday roast. Monday was washing day, so everything would go into the pot in the morning and bubble away all day while Granny washed the clothes without a washing machine!

[@suzanneroberge494]

Looks amazing, thank you

[@marsha8622]

This American lassie has never heard of stories but going to try and make an American version! Thanks from across the pond!

[@CharlieColquhoun-f1q]

The wee lass has heard lots of stories but no had Stovies. Your more than welcome fea the wee land of haggis and neeps.

[@TheCandBExperience]

Looks great! I'll try this too. We made your mince and tatties and yorkshire puddings and loved it!

[@CharlieColquhoun-f1q]

Stovies started out as winter veg with potatoes with the old yew scrap meat and bones or such that had passed and put in a large pot on the open fire. As it went down more veg and tatties were added to the meat bones and stock water. This would last for a long time on the heat continually cooking and adding too. Many variations of this recipe have been made through time. Beef/Pork Link Sausage being the most favorite I think. As here. This is budget comfort food at it's best. Just add some crusty bread and your happy, so is the kids.

[@sheenamaclean2356]

I like baked beans in my stovies, my friend adds turnip (ie swede) but carrots I could do without.

[@scothai1888]

You are making me hungry. 😋

[@lyndaoneill7813]

Yum this looks brilliant.Different to my papa's one,he always used the corned beef and is was that tasty.This looks lovely so it's on ma todo list.Thanks fur posting.👍👍🙂

[@kaykrausman8012]

This looks delicious!

[@jenmb.]

Good video. I always use Cumberland sausages for this as I don't need any other flavouring.

[@raygray7779]

I have never had Stovies before tbh. I have heard of them though and your Stovies look so good and I will definately make them. Thanks for another great recipe. Take care. 👍👍👍

[@williamf4544]

Yeh you can play around with the ingredients a bit - my Grannie always used to make it with just sausage ,potatoes and onion - probably because she had 4 adults in the house and not a lot of money - but it always smelt awesome

[@whamsdram]

Total winter warmer!

[@youngbess1]

Love how you have the carrots sliced thick! I make a root vegetable stew and the carrots have to be sliced thick!

[@susancoulthard4529]

Looks great❤️

[@williamf4544]

Well to start of with i was impressed you used sausages for your stovies - a lot of folk think it has to be mince but as you say the whole idea of stovies is it can be anything thats left over - my Grannie always used sausages probably because they were cheap and i doubt there was ever any meat left over at any time - i like how a lot of you recipes can be tweaked and played around with depending on what is in our fridges and cupboards

[@makingd.o.123]

[@howard1707]

I am playing devils advocaat here, after cooking the sweated onion and browned meat can it be cooked in a slow cooker (cheaper to run) rather than the stove top?

[@singledadscookbook]

Yes, absolutely

May nedd to be thickened a bit?

My Scott’s ancestors came over to America as indentured servants following the rebellion of 1747. I have a great kilt, and will listen to pipes, I wear a Scott’s bonnet ‘of the old style’ as my normal hat. But I know little of Scottish cooking Is garlic not used often. I made some Scott meat pies recently had garlic

[@mrdeafa25]

Our Scottish diet consists mainly of healthy old fashioned ingredients such as deep-fried Mars Bar or Deep-Fried mini pizza, in fact anything deep-fried. This guys recipes are a great boost to single dads who otherwise would be slowly killing our kids with crappy foods through sheer ignorance. On a serious note, garlic is not used often but there are few savoury recipes that would not benefit from its addition. PS A Scottish bonnet is referred to as a Tam O' Shanter.

[@organisedolive8418]

Is it called stovies because it’s made on the stove ? Looks nice , similar to scouse

[@singledadscookbook]

It's actually due to a term of stovied potatoes but who says cooking can't have a bit of fun?

Not convinced about the meaning of the name lol most things are cooked on a stove love the recipe though going give this a go you have allways got left over sausage for some reason got a couple of pieces of smoked bacon left going through that in as well cheers thanks for sharing

[@dosdeviant]

That looks the ticket. Will definitely give it a go.

[@YerMasAMattress]

I'm not saying that your Stovies aren't good, but they're definitely a more southern version of Stovies. These are typically Stovies made in the north and north east of Scotland: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m33Il5mXmJxod5o

That meal would go well with yorkie puddings,or one big Yorkshire pud put the meal in middle delish. Maybe try garlic bread with it they’d work well together

Sorry but thats a sausage casserole but well done for cooking from scratch 😊

Why do the Scottish hate the English? I think you should have your own government.

[@mrdeafa25]

They do have their own government.

[@williamf4544]

Not many Scots hate the English - some might dislike them but not as many as they would have you believe and even that is more to do with the conservative governement - we have been joined for hundreds of years so some of our relatives are English - some of our ancetors were English - and we do have our own governement of sorts - its just not very good im sorry to say but they just blame the English

[@richarddaly800]

While I totally agree with your 'make it simple' method by not being overly consumed with strict measurements, I wish there was a way that you could list the ingredients . I think that most of us that follow on line recipes, print out their fave's. Your singledad method is my favorite but it's such a pain to have to go back and handwrite the ingredients, steps and the cook, simmer times, etc. My current method of rerunning your clip and using the stop, write, start,..... stop, write , start......stop, write, start, just isn't working for me. I can do without a quantities listing once I've watched your clip once. But at 84 years old, my memory fades after the second ingredient is added. "To Taste" might be a way that your recipe's could be a little more detailed. And maybe even a short explanation in your header as to the reason that you don't always include exact quantities of ingredients or seasonings. Please be aware that this is not criticism. It's just my thoughts on what I think may bring more satisfaction to your followers.

[@singledadscookbook]

Your right Richard and on the later videos I have started putting an ingredients list on them. I'm glad you are trying the recipes and enjoying them. As times goes on I am trying to make the videos better and more "digestible" for the viewers (excuse the pun).
