Salt and Pepper to season

melt butter in a pan, add all vegetables and cover with a ld and sweat gently for about 5 mins, shaking to ensure all covered with butter. Add stock and barley and bring to boil, season, then reduce heat and simmer for 1 & 1/2 hours.

Main Course - Steak in Whisky Sauce
4 steaks
2 oz butter
1 small onion finely chopped
2 oz mushrooms finely chopped
6 tbs whisky
2 tps worcestershire sauce

Season steaks, melt butter and fry steaks until cooked to your personal taste, set aside and keep warm. Fry onion and mushroom in steak juices for 3 - 4 mins, then add whisky adn worcestershire sauce. Return steak to pan and bring to boil, simmer just long enough to reheat meat.

Sweet - Butterscotch shortbread

Turn out onto floured surface and knead well, Roll out into round about 1/2 inch thick and place on baking tray, prick all over with fork and sprinkle with a little caster sugar. bake for 35 - 40 mins until dark golden brown. Transfer to wire rack to cool and cut into triangles.

Answer 2

Stovies the tradtional way is my fav scottish dish.

You need diced spuds, sliced onion, oxo cubes and some good lorne sausage, and finally a good helping of HP sauce and cover it all with water just covering the potatoes ect, bring it all to the boil, then turn down and leave to simmer for awhile til the potatoes start to break up. The general mistake is that minced beef is used which actually makes it a basic loose potato pie. What makes this dish Scottish is the lorne sausage, and is tradtionally served at weddings instead of a buffet. Excellent winter comfort food.

Answer 3

I'd hate to come to your house for a meal Crispy I think we would starve to death. Have you ever seen a Scotch egg?
They are only the size of an ordinary egg covered in sausage meat, so 1 between four is really stingy, I have 1 to myself and I'm not greedy.

Sorry kayluv for taking up your space, but I just had to make a correction here so that you know how big they are.

Here is the best site for you to look at:

Answer 4

Only scot-irish by descent but dad claimed this receipe was passed down from generations ago. I've never heard of anyone else having it so I guess it was the poor man's way (they were all farmers) of not letting anything go to waste.

Basically you make oatmeal. Once done you spread it on a plate (like you do fudge) & refrigerate until hardened enough to slice. Then you cut into slices and fry preferably in bacon grease. Once done there are two options. Add salt and use it in place of meat with your eggs (my preference) or for a treat cover in pancake syrup.

Everyone goes EWWW, GROSS! until they try it. It's very good. My son hates oatmeal but loves it fixed like this.

Answer 5

there are some very nice recipes on Traditional Scottish Recipes .....the URL is www.rampantscotland.com

Answer 6

Make scotch eggs. The link has the recipe. They are good cold or at room temp,so a perfect take to school food. Don't make one for each person,figure an egg for every four people.After the eggs are made and cooled,cut them into four wedges and serve a wedge to each person.

Answer 7

I like Mike Myer's quote from So I Married an Axe Murderer... "I believe most Scottish cooking is based on a dare"

However, if you have to make something Scottish, shortbread is my choice.
