Chicken Stovies

I like doing stovies in the oven but they can also be cooked on the hob or slow cooker.


Usually made with leftover cooked meat from the previous dinner, there are a wide variety of recipes and ingredients, I have seen stovies made with lorne sausage, link sausages or meat free, I have never tried those as mum and gran usually cooked them with leftover beef or lamb.


I had some leftover chicken to use up so decided to make chicken stovies, they were delicious, Jodie almost licked the bowl 😂


Ingredients

1-2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, diced
1 carrot, thinly sliced
1.5 kg potatoes, peeled, thinly sliced
300g-400g leftover cooked chicken
1 chicken stock cube
300ml-400ml chicken stock
dash gravy browning

Method

1.  Preheat oven to 190°C.

2. Heat oil in an oven proof casserole dish on the hob over a low-medium heat, add onion and carrot. Cook until softened, approx 10 minutes. Add bite sized pieces of chicken and season, brown meat for 1-2 minutes, making sure it doesn't stick to the base of pot.

3.  Remove from heat, add sliced potatoes in even layers, layer on layer over chicken, crumble chicken stock cube over potatoes, add a dash of browning (not necessary but gives it the browned look of stovies), pour over stock. 

4.  Cover with lid and cook for 50-70 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Roughly mash and mix together. Season to taste.

Enjoy with oatcakes.

Hickory-Honey Ham...Christmas With The Kranks

  I got this Christmas movie cookbook during our 2022 holiday to LA see  here  and I still haven't made anything from it, so for our Christmas in July, I thought I would try the Hickory-Honey ham from the movie Christmas with The Kranks. Scenes from the movie where Nora is running towards the last ham in the store, only to be outsmarted by an elderly lady. I managed to get a couple of reduced shoulder hams from woolies back in May so this gave me an excuse to try a recipe from the book. We also got some Hickory smoking chips for the BBQ. It is a ham that has been smoked over Hickory wood chips for several hours, served with a honey gravy, not out of a tin which it is in the movie. Ingredients 8 cups hickory or other hardwood chips 2 large aluminum foil pans 1 (4kg) fully cooked  bone in ham 1/4 cup salted butter 1 shallot, minced 1/3 cup honey 1/4 cup dark brown sugar 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard 1 tsp ground ginger 1/...
