Nothing to do with traditional cooking but cheap and tasty it is.

1 lg sweet potato, diced into 1/4 " pieces.
1 med leek, diced
8 brussel sprouts, quartered
4-5 slices of fresh peeled ginger
1/4C chicken stock or substitute
veg oil
salt and pepper

heat pan on high, add oil
sweat the ginger in veg oill
add the sweet potato and cook for 3 minutes
add the leeks and sprouts and cook for 2-3 more minutes
add the stock, cover, reduce to simmer and cook until the potatos are tender, about 10 minutes. If there's any liquid left, uncover and boil off the liquid. Add salt and pepper, toss and serve.

Highland Eggs

Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups fresh bread cubes, I use sourdough
1 cup grated cheese ,I prefer an extra sharp cheddar
8 slices bacon, cooked and drained, broken into pieces
8 eggs
Pepper
3/4 cup of half and half (Some recipes call for up to 1 1/2 cups heavy cream which is a little excessive)
Salt
Butter, I always use unsalted butter when I cook

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degree's
Butter a pie pan, the sides and the bottom, I use a stone pie pan, but a glass one works well.
Sprinkle 1/2 of the bread cubes in the pie pan, top with 1/2 of the cheese, and half of the bacon. Then take your 8 eggs and crack them over the ingredients spacing evenly. Top with the remaining, bread, cheese, and bacon. Season with a little pepper, preferably fresh.
Take the cream and pour it over all the ingredients until it is absorbed.
Bake in the pre-heated oven 20-30 minutes depending on how you like your eggs .Season with a little salt and serve. Even better the day after.

I like to add green chili to mine for a southwest flair.

When your pants don't fit anymore, don't blame me.

Now this thread is awesome, but it is also giving me crazy food cravings and at this point in my pregnancy, I'm too tired to stay in the kitchen making this stuff. We'll see how my husband likes these recipes when I decide I want Highland Eggs or Tattie Scones at 3 in the morning!

When your pants don't fit anymore, don't blame me.

I blame my hubby! (The Power of the Kilt) Thank goodness for the world's greatest excuse to eat like a pig!

I don't care if my p@nts don't fit anymore. That's a good reason to buy more kilts!

[Dall_Piobaire]

It all sounds good, all except for the possum that is!

One of the things I do, I don't eat a lot of red meat, is to split meats like lamb with ground turkey and amp up the spices a bit. A little lower in fat, and it still gives me the illusion that I am eating the real thing. I do a shepards/cottage pie with both ground turkey and lamb, it doesn't last too long.

Anyone here make their own Haggis?

Anyone here make their own Haggis?

Dall,

I make my own haggis. It's the only way to get good haggis in the states. I hunt so I have the parts to make it traditional style. I got the recipe out of a cookbook we bought in Scotland.

YMOS,
