Well what do you do with a Haggis?
After searching and decluttering the freezer, I found not just one but two haggis! One normal and one vegetarian. We had bought them from a fantastic deli in the Bridge Of Allen near Stirling many moons ago!!! Need I say more. And what better opportunity to cook them but for Burns Night.
So I invited my friends around, her husband being a true Scot and started to think up ways of cooking it...them!!! In the end I went onto the internet to search for recipes. And I want to share this one with you as I think it was great...yes we had it last night. It's a recipe that was devised by Mary Contini of Valvona & Crolla fame...so here goes....please do try it..it's fab:
Ingredients:
1 haggis
1 jar of sweet pickled beetroot - drained
450gm/1lb of puff pastry
salt & pepper
1 egg beaten
Method:....very easy!!!
Roll out the pastry & cutit into 4 squares.
On each square lay a helping of haggis & several slices of beetroot
Season well
Fold over & sealthe edges with the beaten egg
Glaze with egg and bake in a hot oven until the pastry s golden brown...I used 200C for 35 mins..but pls keep checking
Let me know what you do to celebrate Burns Evening and if you have any favourite recipes. it would be great to know.
We had a jolly good evening and tried something new and different. made us feel good even in the dark days of January!
