Scots love of oats is well known. This is a traditional side normally favoured in the south of Scotland, compared with mealies in the north. It’s a fairly basic recipe as it is an old dish and my only advice is that you do need to take your time as you don’t want to burn your oats.
Serves: 4-5
Time: 30 minutes
Difficulty: Straight forward
200g of oatmeal
100g of Beef Dripping
