Here is another dish from Scotland's West coast. It's a good way to use up leftovers--think along the lines of America's roast beef hash. Recipe & photo: britishfood.about.com

Ingredients

1 tablespoon lard or beef drippings
1 large onion, peeled and roughly diced
4 tablespoons dark beer or stout (optional)
4 ounces diced cold roast beef or lamb
1 1/2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters

How To Make scottish stovies

Step 1

In a large skillet, over medium heat, melt the lard or drippings. Add onions and cook until soft but not browned (about 5-8 minutes). If using, add the beer or stout,, turn the heat up and allow to boil for 2 minutes to burn the alcohol off. Add the meat and stir well.

Step 2

Add the potatoes in layers, seasoning each layer with salt and pepper as you go.
Step 3

Pour the stock or gravy over all. Transfer to a large casserole dish and cover. Place in a preheated 375-degree oven for 45-50 minutes. Check often to make sure there is plenty of stock. If needed, add more to keep from drying out.
Step 4

If using additional leftover vegetables, add them 10 minutes before cooking time is finished, and keep dish covered.
