When I was a kid my mother used to make a dish she called "tatie ash".

I think it was a traditional Lancashire dish based on cheap lamb probably scrag end and potatoes and onions all cooked together a bit like a hotpot. I hated it but think I might like it now.

Does anyone have a recipe for this?

On Saturday, I went to Kerb Saturday, just North of King's Cross. They're usually only open on weekdays, so I can't get there without taking a half day off work, so the Saturday fairs are something I look forward to on the few occasions they happen.

 

Amongst other things, the Tongue'n'Cheek burger stall, where I had their 'Belly Connection' burger (150 g burger plus pork belly, gorgonzola cheese, pimenton mayo, pickled red onion and lettuce ). Fabulous!

Tattie Hash, also known as Tater Hash and Tatie 'ash is a traditional Lancashire dish of boiled potatoes, chopped onions and corned beef stewed long in butter and milk. When cooked, potatoes are mashed (or hashed). Traditionally this was served accompanied by pickled red cabbage and/or pickled beetroot. Sometimes the top is covered with a pastry (known as having a crust on it) and I present that version here, though the pastry lid can be omitted.

Ingredients:

1kg potatoes, peeled and cut into 4cm cubes

2 tins of corned beef, cut into 3cm cubes

2 onions, sliced

1 carrot, finely diced

gravy powder

salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste

4 tbsp butter

For the Crust:

120g plain flour

60g butter, diced

cold water to bind

Tattie Hash Preparation:

Method:

Add the potatoes to a flame-proof casserole (or Dutch oven) then add just enough of a 1:1 mix of water and milk to cover. Bring to a boil then cook for about 10 minutes. Add the onion, carrot and corned beef and boil for 30 minutes. Roughly mash (it should remain a little lumpy) then add enough gravy powder to turn the liquid brown (but don't let it get too thick). Season to taste and dot the top with the butter. Continue simmering gently as you prepare the crust.

Now make the crust. Sift the flour into a bowl, add the butter and rub into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add just enough water to bring the mixture together as a dough. Roll out the dough onto a greased baking tray then transfer to an oven pre-heated to 200°C and bake for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Serve the hash spooned onto plates and top with a piece of the pastry. Accompany with pickled red cabbage and/or pickled beetroot.

On Saturday, I found a local(ish) butcher that sells goat! So, I made a big ol' stew for Sunday evening with enough left for tonight too. Tasty! :yes:

 

The recipe was loosely based on one I have for Greek(ish) style slow cooked lamb.

Without doubt one of the most underrated meats there is.  I love goat and mutton in stews, better than lamb by far for these type of dishes.

Without doubt one of the most underrated meats there is.  I love goat and mutton in stews, better than lamb by far for these type of dishes.

Relatively cheap, too, but so few butchers in my area (that I know of) sell goat. I went for a bag of chunky offcuts, mainly on the bone. Enough (just) for two meals and less than 3 quid.

 

Really good quality lamb is great, but it costs so much these days. Even the price of lamb shanks has gone spiralling upwards, thanks to their recent foodie-fashionable status. And the chance of getting mutton, let alone hogget or shearling is slim unless you have a proper butcher.

A Mancunian and a Scouser go into Greggs the baker's.

The Scouser nicks 3 pies and puts them in his pocket, then boasts to the Mancunian, "did you see that?" "The staff never even saw me."

The Mancunian says, "that's all mate, watch this."

So the Mancunian goes back into the shop and says to the manager, "gimme a pie and I'll show you some magic," and eats the pie in front of him, and then does it twice more.

The manager says, "so, where's the magic in that?"

The Mancunian says, "go and check that scouser's pocket."

Just bought some diced Reindeer from Lidl. Father Christmas may be a little slow this year.

I keep meaning to check Lidl; I bought frozen moose and goose from there the other year.

The company I work for recently relocated, and there's a Lidl right next door. Always worth a look to see what they've got. The first time I went inside a one of their shops, I found trumpets, edible underwear and loudspeaker cable. I didn't buy any of them, but you never know what you'll find.

 

Their leaflet said they'd have goose, but there wasn't any. Maybe it'll be there nearer Christmas, or maybe, as it's a small branch, I will have to visit a bigger one for that. Being a German company, their chocolate-coated gingerbread is very nice indeed.

Tescos down my way sell packs of Mixed mutton and lamb mince in half kilo packs for £2. For all I know it could be 99% mutton as it doesnt give an approximate breakdown, either way it makes a great shepards pie / mutton keema

Lidl is unfairly derided. Much of their 'continental' fare is excellent!
