Dish

Skirlie

Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes

Skirlie is a Scottish side dish of oatmeal fried with fat and onions, named for the skirling sound the oatmeal makes as it cooks. The fat can be suet, lard, beef dripping or butter, and the dish is seasoned with salt. It is especially associated with northeastern Scotland, where it commonly accompanies mince and tatties or Christmas dinner, and can also be used as poultry stuffing; it shares its main ingredients with white pudding, which is boiled in a tripe casing rather than fried.
