Recipes Sausage, Fried Potatoes and Spicy Beans Info

Sliced sausage on hot and spicy beans with fried potatoes and yellow tomatoes

Sausages, chips and beans is a very popular combination throughout the United Kingdom and is probably a popular stereotype among foreigners of typically unimaginative and boring British food. The one principal difference in Scotland compared to the rest of the country is simply that the sausages will usually be of the sliced or Lorne variety as opposed to the more widely popular bangers. It is, however, incredibly easy to vary this age old dish so as to make it almost unrecognisable without any extra effort or even that many extra ingredients. This is just one example of the ways in which this is possible and this creation takes account above all of the modern day love of spices and spicy food in this country.

Ingredients (Serves 1)

1 medium sized baking potato
1 sliced (Lorne) sausage
2 tablespoons vegetable or sunflower oil
Salt and pepper
8 ounce (small) can baked beans in tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 small green chilli
3 small yellow (or red) tomatoes on the vine

Sausage and potato slices are put on to fry

Directions

Pour the vegetable oil in to a non-stick frying pan and bring it up to a medium heat. Wash (but don't peel) and dry the potato. Trim off and discard each end and slice to a thickness of just less than a quarter of an inch (1/2 a centimetre). Season the potato slices on both sides with salt and pepper. Lay the sliced sausage in the centre of the pan and arrange the potato slices around it. Turn the potato slices every three to four minutes and fry the sausage for five minutes each side.

Spices are added to beans before they are gently heated

Pour the beans in to a small saucepan. Add the turmeric, a generous pinch of black pepper and the finely sliced green chilli. Put the saucepan on to a low to medium heat just before the sausage is ready and stir every minute or so with a wooden spoon.

Yellow tomatoes are added to pan with part fried potatoes

When the sausage is ready, the potato slices will still need a further few minutes. Lift the sausage from the pan to a heated plate and cover with tinfoil to keep it warm. Gently sit the tomatoes (still on the vine) in the space in the pan vacated by the sausage, give the potatoes a final turn and cook for three to four final minutes.

Fried potatoes are plated around spicy beans

Arrange the potato slices in a circle around the edge of a deep serving plate and spoon the beans in to the centre.

Fried sausage is plated on top of spicy beans

Lift the sausage on to the beans and sit the tomatoes on top to serve.

Recipes Potted Scottish Salmon - An Easy and Tasty Fish Spread Info

Poached Scottish salmon potted in dill herb butter A few weeks ago, I saw a programme on TV about potted shrimps, showing the full process from catching the shrimps, to cooking them to potting them for eating. It reminded me of how I made several variations of jellied conger eel last summer to delicious effect and I got to wondering how I could use the general concept to come up with a Scottish version of potted shrimp using a typically Scottish fish/seafood. I did consider langoustines first of all but sadly couldn't get hold of any so I came up with the perhaps slightly unorthodox idea of using salmon. The results were as good as I could ever have hoped for and this is a concept I will be doing a lot of experimentation with in future. Scottish salmon and flavourants ready for poaching Ingredients (Makes 4 Small Ramekins/Servings) 6 ounce Scottish salmon fillet, skin on 1/2 small white onion, peeled and sliced 1 bay leaf 6 to 8 whole black peppercorns Salt Combination of 2 parts ...

Recipes Scotch Lamb Burgers with Mint Sauce and Deep Fried Tattie Wedges Info

Beautiful, succulent and tasty lamb burgers When you buy a burger from a fast food outlet, it is likely it will have been made with beef, pork, or a combination of the two - as well as a number of potentially very unsavoury ingredients which you would probably prefer not to hear or think about... Even when burgers are prepared at home, beef or pork are the preferred meats usually used. If you're looking for an alternative for your burgers, you can't do better than use lamb. The prepared burgers are so tender and sucuulent, you may actually never consider using beef or pork again. Chopping potatoes in to wedges Ingredients 2 or 3 medium floury/starchy potatoes 1/2 pound minced/ground lamb Salt and pepper 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary Vegetable oil for frying 2 soft bread rolls 1 tablespoon (approximately) mint sauce Potato wedges are steeped in cold water Directions The potato wedges are prepared in three stages.

Recipes Haggis and Scottish Root Vegetable Stew Info

A Tasty if Unusual Accompaniment to Haggis Haggis with Scottish root vegetable stew Haggis is of course most commonly served simply with tatties (potatoes) and neeps (Swede turnip/rutabaga). The tatties and neeps may be served relatively plain or they may combined to form clapshot, where they are mashed together with chives, butter and white pepper. As experimenting with food in so many different ways is one of my greatest passions in life, I decided on this particular occasion to serve the haggis not only with tatties and neeps but with a few other popular Scottish root vegetables in the form of a hearty vegetable stew. Individual portion haggis The quantity of vegetable stew I have prepared here will make for two large portions or up to four medium portions. The amount of haggis you therefore prepare should be adjusted accordingly. Ingredients (2 Generous Portions) 2 individual haggis servings 1 small Swede turnip/rutabaga 2 medium to large carrots (or equivalent size combination) 8 ...
