NORWEGIAN LABSCOUSE

• Wash, peel, and dice potatoes; add to the pot, continue to low boil until potatoes are done.
• Be careful not to over cook potatoes.
• Drain well over a large bowl to reserve juices (pot liquor).
• In another large bowl mash potatoes and beef together adding milk, butter, and salt and pepper to taste. and making sure all are blended well and you have a smooth texture.
• If additional liquid is needed, you can use some of the reserved "pot liquor" instead of more milk.
• **TIP** For breakfast; fry up some like hash and have with eggs.
• Its great!

LAMB SCOUSE

Steps:

• Toss the lamb pieces in flour and season well. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large flameproof casserole dish over a high heat. Working in batches, brown the lamb on all sides, adding more oil if needed, then set aside on a plate.
• Turn down the heat to medium and pour in 2 tbsp oil, tip in the onion, carrots and turnips, add a pinch of salt and cook for 8 mins until softened and coloured. Return the meat to the dish along with the ale, stock and herbs. Crumble in the stock cubes and season well.
• Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer, sitting the potatoes on the top of the stew. Cook for 2 hrs until the meat is tender and the potatoes are soft. Serve with pickled cabbage or beetroot, if you like.
