Traditionally I think I'm right in saying that stovies would have been eaten as a main course, but, me being me, I like to use them as an accompaniment. this recipe is a cracking way of using up any left over tatties and gravy, and, yes! I think you really have to use some beef dripping!! Sorry!
If you do have some leftover roast beef or lamb bits, by all means add these to your stovies mix
