This is a traditional version of a Scottish casserole dish dating from the 1930s.

Ingredients:

900g potatoes, peeled and sliced
450g shin of beef
225g pork sausages
225g tomatoes, blanched, peeled and sliced
1 apple, peeled, cored and sliced
1 onion, sliced
1 tbsp plain flour
beef stock (or water)
salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste

Method:

Skin and slice each sausage into three equal pieces. Cut the meat into bite-sized chunks. Season the flour then use to coat the meat and sausage pieces.

Take an earthenware casserole dish and arrange a layer of the sliced potatoes in the base. Cover with the meat and sausage then with the mixed onion, tomato and apple. Repeat the layering process, finishing with a layer of potatoes.

Fill the dish three-quarters full with stock or water (or use gravy diluted with water) then cover with a tight-fitting lid. Transfer to an oven pre-heated to 180°C and bake for 2 hours. When done, take the casserole to the table and serve immediately from the dish.
