One pot wonder. Cumbrian/Lancashire hotpot.

[bigboack]

Just thought I'd share this one with you all, Its the tastiest Cumbrian/Lancashire Hotpot that I have ever made. Wish I could say it was mine but I got it from ccc magazine Feb 2010 Page 25.
Ingredients:
4 local lamb chops
4 lambs kidneys cored and sliced
4 slices of blackpudding
2 large carrots sliced
2 large potatoes thinly sliced
1 bunch of flat leaf parsley (optional I chose not too)
1 pint of Chicken stock
Salt and Pepper.
I used the slow cooker, but oven would do.
I buttered the pot first, then layered with onion carrot and potatoe, Then I put the chops on top of the veg, kidneys and blackpudding on top of the chops,Layered more carrots and potatoes on top, poured over the stock then add salt and pepper. Lid on and left to cook all day. It was delicious.If your using the oven 160c for two hours with lid on then last half hour with lid off at 200c. Served with fresh crusty bread. I challenge you all to make it and prove me wrong.

Looks good! I never thought of using black pudding in a dish like that, so worth a try. Does it matter if the lamb chops are not "local"

if there not local it wont be a cumbrian/lancashire hot pot then. Dont spose it will matter just this once. But then if your in Hertforshire I spose it would become a hertfordshire hotpot.

This looks nice Bigboack. I really have to convince the other half to try it out.
But.... (I'm a continental ignorant) what is a 'slow cooker' ??
and what's the recipe of 'Black pudding'

 

[zeezee16]

Dont tell him the recipe, get his addres and post him a string.

Hi belgian why dont you google a slow cooker, Its a casserole dish which sits inside a heated outer casing which holds a small element about 200 watts, which you leave on all day. It cooks things slowly, hence its called a slow cooker.. pm me your address and i will gladly send you some blackpudding, Its like a big sausage.

Yeah, it looks like a sausage but is made with dried pigs blood and lumps of pig fat

YUMMY

You have to try it to appreciate it and bury is about the best place to get it - although I have a butcher supplier in Castleford who produces the best I have ever tasted - goes fantastic with some pan fried scallops

I fank you

Even I resisted, Belgian you know us Brits are a little eccentric, and English cuisine doesn't enjoy the same kudos as our French neighbours.

But really is worth a try.!!!

When in Belgium I had a peasants dish with pork and of all things coffee added...and it was delicious I might even post it one day.

explore and bon appetit

Hi Channa,
British eccentric; no way. . As far as I can see (smell.. taste..?) black pudding is almost the same as what we have here in Flanders and call it 'bloedworst' (bloodsausage).
And please post the Belgian pork dish ?
A Flemish recipe:
FLEMISH STEW
- 1kg stew
- 0,5kg salsifi (bocal)
- 0,5kg beans
- 2 slices gingerbread
- 2 spoons pastis
- rindsbouillon, butter, salt, pepper
Roast the stew in the butter goldbrown; add pepper and salt the bouillon and the sliced gingerbread.
Cook softly for 2hrs and add the beans and some beer.
Add the salsifis.
Serve with potatoes or fries. Don't forget the beer: a tripple
(Alca seltzer would help afterwards...)

 

[Channa]

I reckon the bloedworst is pretty similar to our black pudding, Perhaps the difference is the herbs and spices added for the flavour may differ a little..

For the Pork dish here goes, I was told it was a traditional peasant dish in the Liege area by my friend who lives in Vise near Liege.

Thin streaky pork chops (amount dependant on the number of people and what they can eat)

Two Cooking Apples per person

Sugar

A cup of fresh ground coffee ( I dare say nescafe instant still works)

Fresh loaf sliced.

Method

Fry the pork chops off in a little vegetable oil and remove the chops set aside when cooked.

Add the peeled and chopped apple into the pan and sprinkle with plenty of sugar to taste.

When the apples are starting to soften add the coffee...( it seems to absorb the grease)

re add the chops to warm through.

Serve at the table in the pan, take a chop or two the apple sauce, and enjoy with the fresh bread.

This is seriously delicious...

Fromm Lancashire hot pot to an old twostroke pedal pusher, where else in the world could this happen? You lot are a weird bunch of Wilders thats what I love about this site. Chana btw it was you who went off topic first this time but I dont give a damn.
Lovin it lovin it lovin it.
Not sure about the coffee and pork thing though all this foreign muck spoils things. But i will try it.

Has for foreign muck the pork job, perhaps but good foreign muck

Sounds like a hot pot worth a taste, but can't do kidneys, so must find an alternative that is not offal and need to use a diferent sausage too, because this stuff........

Realy frightens me!
