Slow Cooker Pat's Scouse

I first cooked this typical liverpudlian dish a few years ago. I cooked it in my biggest pot and at the end of the cooking I had to split it in two pans and was struggling to keep it from sticking to the bottom. My friend pat (RIP) lent me a slow cooker and I was a convert ever since. She will always be remembered

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Soften the onion in a bit of oil. Transfer onion to slow cooker - crockpot

Brown the lamb and the beef in the oil from cooking onions. Add freshly ground black pepper and a dash of worcestershire sauce. Cook till sealed. Transfer to the Slow cooker - crockpot

* Step 3

Sautee carrots and parsnip in leftover fat. Transfer to slow cooker.

* Step 4

Cube part of the potatoes very finely and add to the Slow cooker - crockpot

* Step 5

Sprinkle with beef stock cube and add enough water to nearly cover potatoes. Cover and cook on low for 2-3 hours

* Step 6

* Step 7

You can taste and add a bit more seasoning to your taste and maybe a further dash of worcestershire sauce.

* Step 8

The typical scouse used to be accompanied by red cabbage and pickled beetroot. I suggest any sort of pickles you like will go fabulous. I am planning to have a taste of my first batch of the green beans I pickled back in September.
