****e, you ****in 9 fingered mutant. You don't make it with minced beef ya fud. It's from left over meat. Jesus Christ, is there anyone with any sense on here, ****in ridiculous. Minced beef, for ****s sake.
I DON'T GET IT. 'Stovies' makes it sound plural, like it's individual morsels. But it's not. It's like a stew.
I use my Aberdonian maw's recipe. Lorne sausage is the only meat I use in it - chopped into wee bits, sliced tatties and carrots in it. Maybe a bit of dumpling if it's available but that's it.
No really. Make a big pot of it. Freeze most of it and... ..oh, ye were angling fur an invite... ...sorry, tinambol ended yesterday.
That's how my maw and my granny made it. Never tasted stovies anywhere that came close to my maw's. The absolute ****ing perfect thing to soak up an afternoon swally.
