Steps:
- Heat the lard or butter in a medium sized saucepan. Add the onion and fry for 10 mins over a low-medium heat until softened. Add the swede, carrot and celery and fry for 5 mins.
- Stir in the meat, if using leftover roast lamb or beef, then the potatoes. Pour over the stock and season generously, bring to the boil, then turn the heat down to a simmer. Cook covered for 1 hr 30 mins or until the vegetables have softened and the potatoes have broken down completely. If you're using corned beef, add this to the pan 20 mins before the end of cooking. Serve with oatcakes, or crusty bread

CHICKEN STOVIES - TRADITIONAL SCOTTISH RECIPE
The word 'stovies' is from the French 'etoufee', meaning 'stewed in a closed vessel'. This popular Highland dish, possibly of French origin, has become a favourite all over Scotland. Like most national affairs, the exact way to cook stovies is a matter of dispute for many Scots; this traditional recipe preserves all the essence of the bird.

Steps:
- 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.
- Add the potatoes in layers, seasoning each layer with salt and pepper as you go.
- 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.
- If using additional leftover vegetables, add them 10 minutes before cooking time is finished, and keep dish covered.
