Guest Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Here's one I found on the net. It sounds a bit posh for the potted meat I remember though! Potted Meat 750 g Lean pork 500 g Belly pork, cubed 150 ml Water 2 Garlic cloves, crushed Sprig of thyme ½ ts Ground mace pince Ground allspice Black pepper Bay leaf 1. Put the lean and belly pork in a heavy pan. 2. Add water, garlic and all seasonings. 3. Bring to boil. Transfer to a casserole dish and cook in oven at 150C for up to 5 hours. Stir occasionally, adding water if it is sticking. 4. Drain meat with a colander and reserve the liquid in a jug to cool. 5. Discard the herbs and shred the meat with two forks. 6. Re-melt the fat from the cooled liquid and add enough to the shredded meat to make a soft paste. 7. Pack into jars or terrine dish and cover with a layer of fat. 8. Store in fridge for up to two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTAW Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 You could just try wizzing a tin of stewing steak in a food processor, that will more or less get you the consistancy and taste you require. Simply add salt, pepper and hendersons relish (if you can get it) to your taste! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scout Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I just used to blitz up any cold leftover beef in my blender. My kids used to love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Urgh, urgh, urgh. :gag: It sounds truly disgoosting! I'm not a fan of the stuff myself, but I suppose at least if you make your own, you can put meat of the appropriate quality in it. I dread to think what sort of 'meat' goes into some of the bought stuff, particularly at the cheaper end of the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pietro Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Potted Meat or more commonly called "Potted Dog" here. I've found you a recipe for traditional Yorkshire Potted Beef. 8oz Beef steak –cubed. ½ tsp Mace Salt and Pepper. Butter 1 Cover the beef with water, cover and stew gently for 2 hours until tender. 2 Drain stock into jug and stand to one side. Mince the beef twice and make into a paste with a little of the stock, then beat in the mace, salt and pepper. 3 Pack tightly into a jar and cover with clarified butter and chill. Its taken from here: http://www.itvregions.com/NR/rdonlyres/69728202-F233-446A-B79C-279D7FB57796/1107/Dales_8.pdf Theres also recipes for something called Scripture Cake and one for Courting Cake. Can't stand the stuff myself though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
