Page 9 No. 1 Cumberland Hot Pot 2 lb potatoes two large carrots ¾ lb shin beef one large onion One black pudding ¾ pt hot stock Seasoning Peel and slice the vegetables. Trim the beef and cut up with the black pudding. Put all the ingredients into a casserole dish and season to taste. Ensure that the top layer is of sliced potato. Cover and bake in a moderate oven, 350F, 180C or gas mark 4 for one and a quarter hours, then remove lid and cook a further 30 minutes or until the top has browned. Add more liquid if the dish appears to be drying up. An alternate method of cooking is for the dish to be baked for 1 3/4 hours with lid, then the top browned under a hot grill. This tasty dish is one of those that have been popular in Cumbria for almost two hundred years, being adapted slightly by each generation and still enjoyed in many homes”.  |
