Stovies - Another version!

by Sheena Knowles
(Australia)

My mother was born and bred in Falkirk (born 1920) and came to Australia in 1952. Her Stovies were always a favourite - but different from the recipes listed here in that they involved no meat! Instead, she poured the left-over juices from the roasting pan into a bowl and left them to set in the fridge. Then she pulled off the solidified creamish fat to reveal a translucent meat "jelly" underneath.

Using the potatoes and onion and described in the usual recipes - she replaced the meat ingredient with the meat "jelly". The result was absolutely delicious.
