Scottish BBC MasterChef contestant uses local Paisley butchers on show

Scottish MasterChef contestant Lisa Addison was a star for Scotland on Wednesday night's episode of the BBC cookery show - and she even included some of her west coast pals in on the act.

Posting on her Instagram story on Thursday morning, Lisa tagged Paisley restaurant and butchers Elderslie Butchers.

Lisa wrote: "Practicing for MasterChef meant using the best of the best ingredients...Get down to @elderslie butchers and let @gavin.colquhoun and his amazing team sort you out."

On the website, Elderslie Butcher's blurb reads: "In 2012, two local boys from Elderslie decided to take over a butcher shop. Through their hard work and determination, they have created an award-winning institution which is recognised throughout the West of Scotland for its commitment to creativity and, ultimately, perfection. Selling meat, however, wasn’t enough.

"They wanted to show the public the true potential of the product they were selling. As such, they opened the Butchers Steak & Grill, a restaurant which carries on the philosophy of the owners by reflecting it through delicious and succulent dishes.

"In order to maintain these standards, we change our menu seasonally; you will always be given the freshest produce during its peak harvesting time. Additionally, our meat is all reared in Scotland and aged for 45 days to make sure it is as tender and flavourful as possible."

Lisa Addison from Killearn, Stirlingshire, was flying the flag for Scotland on Masterchef's first episode of series 18 on BBC One on Wednesday March 23.

She prepared pork fillet wrapped in parma ham stuffed with mushroom duxelles with hasselback potatoes and asparagus. Then for the dessert round she created a chocolate and orange mille feuille.

This was enough to send Lisa to the second round of the show, airing next week on BBC One.

You can watch Lisa in action on MasterChef on Friday, March 25 at 8pm.
