Scottish Style Stovies | One Pot Meals | Budget Bites | Mince Beef Recipe 😋🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Scottish stovies is a superb one pot budget meal that is very easy to make. You can use any leftover meat or mince with onions and potatoes, then you can add any vegetables you have available and a few flavourings to turn it into a delicious and satisfying comfort food meal. Stovies is a real winter warmer! 😋
Big thanks to my friend Darren from Livingstone for introducing me to this great Scottish comfort food.

Another great dish, good for winter and to help with the budget. I swear every video brings more light in your eyes Pete, you're back ✨

[@LazyCookPete]

Thanks my friend, it's very kind of you to say so. That light seems to come on when I make something amazing from humble ingredients, something the Scots excel at! 😋

[@SuperShitforbrains]

A nice Meal there and made with the simple ingredants and awesome to Pete and keep up the awesome work

[@LazyCookPete]

Thanks Roger mate!

[@ivybrown3859]

I like the idea of Scottish style stovies,, when I recover from my illness I am going to give it a try, thank you for your recipes I look forward to many more u tube shows thanks for keeping an old lady happy, keep it up and good luck.

[@LazyCookPete]

That really warms my heart Ivy. Hold fast and keep smiling!

[@londoncity1]

This is comfort for all day long! This would be good everyday until it's all gone and then make some more! Great cooking Pete!

[@LazyCookPete]

There is a similar Welsh dish called Lobscouse that just gets added to every day, traditionally it would run for a few days before they made another: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4S6qqZna9WNb9k I think all these type of dishes owe at least some of their heritage to Nordic/Viking traditions where salt fish was used instead of meat.

[@athollmcnicoll1028]

I prefer my Stovies to be on the dry side as is the conception up here in the N. East of Scotland and added to it when it is plated up, 2 pieces of Oatcakes and a glass of warmed milk to wash it down with. What you made is a variation of Stovie Broth, which I'd class as a soup but grand for keeping the belly warm on a cold frosty night. Cheers Pete.

[@LazyCookPete]

I learned it from a friend who came from Livingstone Atholl, and I have made it this way ever since. It certainly fills me up and keeps my belly warm. Scots have got comfort food wrapped up and tied with a gold ribbon 😋

[@mcscotty1625]

growing up on a farm in Scotland this was one of my favourites to get for a tea.

[@LazyCookPete]

It's a fine meal by any standards, and so versatile too.

[@paulpennington392]

Great video, simple and explains how to cook the dish really well.

[@LazyCookPete]

Thank you Paul. Stovies is one of my all time favourites 😋

That scottish stookie stew looked great when i recover from my illness i must jive it go thank you for your idea's c

[@LazyCookPete]

Get well soon Ivy.

[@ianrobinson1794]

Looks good, for anyone who prefers the thicker version you can follow this recipe up until you add the 400ml of stock - then do NOT top up with water. Instead you bring to the boil, lower heat to low and simmer for 50 minutes with the lid on stirring occasionally to prevent anything burning/sicking. Let it rest for 15 minutes after cooking time, stir to your preferred thickness and serve

[@LazyCookPete]

Thanks Ian, I'll give it a try 😋

[@PaddyJoeCooking]

Thanks mate! I still need to invest in a wireless mic for indoor and outdoor use, I'm looking at the DJI MIC with jealous eyes and saving my pennies 😊

Hadrian's Wall must have been the frontier of the known world at the time. One letter was an officer complaining about the state of the roads, 'bloody awful!' is the direct translation from his Latin inscription 😄

Just the meal to come home to after working outdoors on a wet and windy day Carol. A big bowl of stovies followed by a snooze by the fireplace.

[@tonycampbell1178]

Looks great! Traditional stovies was generally made on a Monday and was to use up anything left from the Sunday meal. Normally that would have been roast beef or mutton, plus any left over potatoes and vegetables. Nowadays, most people make stovies from fresh rather than to use up scraps. You are correct when you say there is no ‘correct’ recipe for stovies due to leftovers being an unpredictable thing. I can testify though, that stovies made from roast beef, veg and lots of fried onions with of course potatoes (they were probably cheap) as a filler. Still to this day, one of my absolute favourite meals.

[@LazyCookPete]

I make this at least once a week Tony, it's still the best 'fridge challenge' meal I know 😋

[@snowpony001]

Although as you say, it doesn’t look all that beautiful, with the ingredients you used it certainly sounds like hearty and delicious comfort food. I’ve saved this video in my digital recipe book (I confess that most of your recipes end up there 😊). Will be good on a cold winters night. Thank you again for another economical, heathy, tasty meal.

[@LazyCookPete]

I'm honoured that some of my videos are in your digital recipe book. You are most welcome my friend! 😊

[@deathbycocktail]

I'm Scottish but Mum's English, so I missed a lot of trad Scots stuff growing up in the 80s. It's not a million miles from Scouse I suppose. My mother in-law does it but hers is a lot drier- can't say I'm a huge fan to be honest. Yours looks pretty inviting though! Good call on the spring onions 🙂

[@LazyCookPete]

It has a lot of similarities with scouse and with Welsh cawl and lobscouse, all of which have a similar ancestry I imagine. This one was delicious 😋

[@2learn4ever]

Awww I can smell it from here! Looks delicious. Reminds me of my Irish stew. 10 out of 10 for flavour, 10 out of 10 for adding WHITE pepper, and definitely 10 out of 10 for a bowl and a spoon. Yum!

[@LazyCookPete]

It is closely related to Irish stew, scouse, Welsh lobscouse and Welsh cawl. Like you I love my stews served in a bowl with a spoon to scoop it up. White pepper is the traditional spice because black pepper really didn't find common use in these islands until the eighties. I love black pepper but this is a dish for the white stuff 😋

[@lw7240]

Hi Pete, well I must say this is new to me , I’ve not heard of stovies before. Great recipe!!! The sound is great Pete!!! ❤️x

[@LazyCookPete]

Glad you enjoyed it Lisa, and thanks for the feedback on my sound!

[@sheilathomas8528]

Great recipe Pete, bet the flavours are absolutely delicious. Sound quality excellent. Thanks for sharing.

[@LazyCookPete]

Thanks for the feedback Sheila. The acoustic panels have helped a lot. The stovies were so tasty!

[@rhystan8254]

I am so glad I stumbled upon your videos. I am so tired of 'modern' cooking. Your vids are so refreshing and you are so refreshing with your laidback style. Thankyou so much for showing us how you cook a very flavourful meal easy and economical. Greetings from Australia. Cheers 👍 🇦🇺

[@LazyCookPete]

The Scots really have comfort food covered, and this tasty meal is some of the best comfort food I have tasted. I like to swap around the ingredients so I've never cooked it the same way twice, but each time this simple formula produces a super tasty and inexpensive hearty meal. Thanks and welcome my friend!

[@FarleyHillBilly]

Well thank you Pete. OK. I would suggest a headset and mike combo. The mike is closer to your mouth and not hearing room echoes Your new sound is vastly better !

[@LazyCookPete]

I'll shake the piggy bank and see what the budget reaches to. I have a lavalier mic but it's not wireless and it just gets in my way. I really need a wireless lavalier with the receiver feeding into my camera. Thanks for your help my friend.

[@herbnalis3723]

Thanks for making me hungry.

Now this what I call comfort food at its best 👌. Super easy to prepare and delicious. Thanks for sharing mate. Cheers 🍺

[@LazyCookPete]

Thanks friends. Inexpensive and tasty always works for me 😋

[@rhystan8254]

Well Pete, it looked so good I had to go buy the ingredients and make it. I must say the mix of sausage, bacon and mince was a genius stroke. We absolutely loved it and have enough for another meal. Thanks so much, old fashioned food rules. Cheers 👍 🇦🇺

[@LazyCookPete]

Thanks for the positive feedback Rhystan! You can tinker with the ingredients and get it just how you like it, but I must say that I rather enjoyed it this way. I love stovies 😋

[@WeAreThePeople1690]

Just needs some crispy bread rolls and butter. Or a dooker as we call it 🤣

[@LazyCookPete]

I can't argue with that! I know that some Scottish people serve it with oatcakes and beetroot. I had neither when I made this video so they are presented here au naturel 😊

[@ginagina9720]

I remember my mam making mince and tatties 🥔 when I was a little girl!

[@LazyCookPete]

I love mince and tatties too Gina. Stovies is like mince and tatties as a one pot meal, any kind of meat will do. I did a dedicated mince and tatties video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpCWoa2HetiXidk

[@ginagina9720]

Thank you 🙏 for replying back I will have to try making it myself I love ❤️ nice wholesome food especially in this weather! I remember my mam making lambs neck end stew until the meat fell of the bone it was delicious and it was a cheap meal to make thank you 🙏 for your videos

[@LazyCookPete]

@@ginagina9720 I remember my mum making lopscouse with scrag end of neck, she would make it last at least a couple of days. From Irish stew to Welsh cawl and those hearty Scottish stews, these islands produce some of the best comfort food I have tasted anywhere on this big blue marble. Those who poo poo our cuisine are only showing their ignorance and prejudice.

Hi Pete , thanks for another great recipe. Why did you pick baking potatoes? I would normally use Maris Pipers or King Edwards … Did you just have them to hand… Proper comfort food, incredibly filling… 😊

[@LazyCookPete]

Many of my viewers from other countries scratch their heads when Maris Pipers are mentioned Rolf, but 'baking potatoes' are available worldwide. PS: many of our 'baking potatoes' are just large Maris Pipers sold at a premium price.

[@moniquem783]

Must try this one day. It looks delicious. Simple, humble but awesome. What did the letting it stand for 10 minutes at the end do?

[@LazyCookPete]

Thanks Monique! The standing time just helps flavours develop and it improves the texture. It also prevents me from burning my mouth when I gobble it all up 😊

[@RHR-221b]

Perhaps to bring out the flavours, Monique. Stay free. Rab 🍻😎

[@moniquem783]

Thanks. I’ll have to start doing that. Normally by the time I turn the heat off I’m exhausted and don’t want to stand in the kitchen another 10 minutes. Once I move I’m not going to have stairs in between the kitchen and a comfy chair so then I’ll be more likely to do it.

[@LazyCookPete]

@@moniquem783 The standing time is not written in stone Monique, it's just a suggestion, you can serve it as soon as it's ready. Truth be known I'm usually too hungry to wait that long 😊

[@moniquem783]

@@LazyCookPete yeah I know. Will be interesting to see the difference it makes though. It’s another thing to add to the list for once I’m in a house that works better for me. That list is getting quite long! 😂😂
