I think 'stovies' is a name that covers a multitude of sins! That's how I made ours tonight - and its all gone...maybe like 'Hotpot' or something when everyone has a different version? No doubt my version has been meddled with through the years - my father was a Scot & my mother was Belgian - so more than a bit Hotzepotten in there...

It must be one of those dishes that everyone has their own version of - as long as it all gets eaten that's the main thing . I might try making 'my' version with leftover lamb rather than corned beef now you've given me the idea :cool:

I used to sliced the best bits off a leg and freeze them with no problems when I had extra and used the odd shaped bits in a shepards pie .I too used a food mixer with a blade and reduced the meat to 'breadcrumbs ' size.My kids used to say the only bit left when I had finished was the bone as I made sure that not a scrap was wasted, meat is far too expensive to waste.
Take one large leg of lamb and this is how it lasts five days
Sunday Roasted with all the trimmings.
I used to take all the meat off when it was cold on Sunday night and put in the fridge covered with foil and prepare it usually on Monday morning
Monday cold sliced with pickle and mash
Tuesday some cubed bits and lots of veggies curried with rice
Wednesday Shepards pie made on Monday and bulked out with a small tin of baked beans on top of the meat and under the mash and frozen
Thursday Rissoles and chips and peas (also made on Monday and frozen
My old man used to say thank God for Fridays and fish and chips:rotfl:
lamb is so versatile, and a good size leg goes a long way.Mind you back in those days (1968) a 5lb leg cost me seveteen and sixpence(85-86p)But it fed four of us for five days
