Topic: How do you make Scouse?

[Cochise]

Did a search but 50 pages came up. 
 
Anyway living in Manchester I don't have it as often as I used to when I was back home *sigh*.
 
Now my bird makes this stew stuff with corned beef and its nice but its not scouse so I thought I'd ask the fine people of RAWK for the recipe and how to cook it.
 
Thanks.


EDIT: I did try to make it once but it was awful.

Few ideas here;

[Billy The Kid]

Get a saucepan out

Pour in some olive oil

Fry your meat of choice until its browned (marinading it in worcester sauce prior to cooking gives it a nice flavour)

Chop up your veg, i.e: carrots & onions. I also like to use barley

Peel your spuds.

Fill the pot with water covering the meat, then add in spuds and veg

Chuck in an oxo cube or two then cover and let simmer for a couple of hours

Go to pub

Return from pub hungry

Open the pot and get stuck in


If you want you could have a re-naming ceromony and call it stew, thats optional

[Raul!]

Make sure you wash the meat first.

There's couple of threads from a while ago that may help you out..

If your bird can't make a pan of scouse,get the bin bags out & show her the pavement from the front bedroom window-that should help.

[jaygraham]

Get mince, peel a load of spuds then cut them into smallish squares. Boil em so they are soft(ish) and do the same with carrots.
Brown the mince, put in a big pan with onions, add a bisto cube and stock, throw it all in together and let it boil and simmer for 20 odd mins. When it seems done and a fair bit of the water has boiled away serve with a bit of crusty bread and red cabbage.

Thats roughly how we do it - me Dad used to make the best Scouse ive ever had. Ive missed  few details there im sure but that should take you most of the way.

[macca888]

Mince?

Corned Beef?

Barley?

Why don't you just throw a fucking Sayers' pastie in it you gang of dirty bastards! Stewing steak is the only meat you can use or it's not fucking Scouse. Call it whatever the fuck you want except Scouse. And anyway, if your bird is a Manc, just fuck her off on general fucking principles.

I think Nidgemo came up with this recipe.

1)  Make Irish stew.
2)  Give it a different name.
3)  Serve.

Don't be daft corkboy. We all know Irish stew is just a combination of mash, boiled potatoes and roasties. Covered in gravy.

Ah yes, it was indeed nidgemo. I knew someone said it before, hence why I posted this :

[red annie]

onions carrots spuds meat(we use lamb) water salt pepper. cook. cool. reheat next day. eat

What else do you need to know?

Anything else is stew not scouse

[Wait for it!!!]

I am on a gluten free diet and now live in York (not because I am on gluten free diet I hasten to add!!) but OXO are full of gluten!! How do you make a gluten free Scouse ie without wheat oats rye or barley??

And my old mum made the best Scouse ever so there!!! and she's now 85 so she was born b4 all of your mums!!!!!

haha, you're right in every respect. Barley? Christ Almighty. Thats as bad as a mate of mine who covers a roast dinner in brown sauce, daft twat.

Love a bit of beetroot on my scouse, loads of pepper too.

I remember asking for the tomato sauce with my Sunday roast when I was a kid, and my mam nearly fucking killed me!

Simple mate. Don't put any fucking wheats, oats, rye or barley in it cos you're making Scouse, not soup or stew! And instead of OXO, use these. Knorr beef gravy and cubes are gluten free.

Thanks for the tips. I'll be giving this a try on monday.

Stewing steak is the only meat you can use or it's not fucking Scouse.

It's not Scouse if you don't use lamb.

[rowan_d]

How do you make a Swiss roll?

[Andy G]

Scouse traditionally was with lamb.  Marinade in Worcester sauce, brown off with the onions and throw into a large saucepan and then add veg (usually potatoes and carrots but certainly not peas).  Add stock and put on high heat until boiling, then simmer on low heat for hours.  Add HP sauce and stir in thoroughly then simmer for more hours.  In the fridge overnight and ready to heat up again and eat the following day.

Sounds very similar to Irish Stew. Irish Stew was/is traditionally made with lamb, but we use minced beef and stewing pieces if we don't really like lamb.

For some reason, I always thought Scouse was the same as a Dublin Coddle.

[lainey]

I put the carrots and swede in a good 20 mins before adding the potatoes as they take longer

depends if you like your taters to go into the gravy (which is does when left anyway and is good)

no cereal either - my mum used to put celery in it till we stopped her

my granma used mince but my mum always used stewing steak - matter of taste

I make the veg scouse my grandad made now - bloody lovely

[The Bill Hicks Appreciation Society]

And my old mum made the best Scouse ever so there!!! and she's now 85 so she was born before all of your mums!!!!!

My nan is 86 and I contend that she makes the best scouse ever... she also does the best sausage pasta bake in the entire history of mankind.

[Wait for it!!!]

No need to swear!!

[macca888]

It's not Scouse if you don't use lamb.

I know you're supposed to use beef AND beef Dava, but lamb is a really fatty and unhealthy meat mate!

No need to swear!!

No need to say thanks for me going out of my way to specifically find gluten free gravy granules and stock cubes to help you after YOUR request. I haven't got Coeliacs Disease, so it's not like it's common knowledge. Maybe the fact that you need a gluten free diet, it would have been much easier to find it out for yourself? Anyway, next time you need help and advice, here's a link for you www.tryusinggoogleyoufuckinglazyungratefulprick.co.uk   

[CHOPPER]

It's beef and the usual suspects for veg, flour your beef, brown off then add water or stock then ye veggies
anyone putting mince or corned beef in wants fuckin big style..... wools the lot of um'
 
To make it thick it's all in the spuds, cut a load small and a load large, the small ones disintegrate adding starch into
ye scouse making it thicker. Then leave overnight and hey presto the best scouse about.

Hold a gun to his head.

I am really sorry for upsetting you but it was a smidgeon of a joke to say "No need to swear"
Please forgive me. It is really strange when we take comments the wrong way, I do it all the time because I misread text. Again sorry and thanks for your input on gluten free stuff I will get my coat.

[Wait for it!!!]

Just what I was thinking (maybe not so strong cos it wasn't me who made the effort) ... I didn't even have a clue what stuff's got gluten in it anyway and I can't be alone. Christ, if you're on a gluten-free diet, isn't finding out what you can eat the sort of thing you do.

Ask yer mum, SD. (PS. I bet someone's got an older mum than yours.)

macca888, your link could've been www.tryusinggoogleyoufuckinglazyungrateful.co.ck

Thanks for your input mate, my original request was in respect to making a PROPER pan of Scouse and yes I do have to investigate if food is gluten free every single day of my life thanks
Do you know what it is like to have to read a can of feckin beans made by some German company that provides facilities to Aldi to see if the words "Ich bin ein can ze gluten vrei" is imprinted in very very small script on the mangled can?
No I didn't think you did.
Thanks Macca 888 and again sorry for appearing ungrateful.

By the way an endoscopy and colonoscopy every couple of years ensures you do check the labels!!!
Come on Barca!!!!

[jaygraham]

I thought the point of Scouse was that you use a cheapish cut of the lamb

Is right. Hence mince none of this fancy dan stewing steak bullshit. Thats scouse for posh people.

How do you make a Swiss roll?

Start by eating the frogs legs

[Claire.]

I may attempt my first pan of scouse today. People in the Tower Hamlets area of London, prepare yourselves for either mass hungries from the smell of my delicious tea bubbling away or the sound of 100 fire engines fighting the flames.

I am of course making blind scouse, and I don't have the biggest pan in the world so I don't think I can do a 4 hour simmer like me mum used to. I hope it's nice.
