Veggie Haggis recipes

Maggot

The Cake of Liberty
As it's Burns Night, I thought I'd make a veggie haggis. Anyone got any tried and trusted recipes?
 
The recipe that dessiato has posted looks delicious. But despite having plenty of time on my hands AND happening to have a savoy cabbage in the pantry, it is a little bit too involved for me. :oops:

I looked at various recipes in preparation for today, and have decided to make my own experimental version of some sort of lentil, oats, porcini mushroom mash-up with allspice and lots of black pepper.
 
I buy the Macsween one as well as danny la rouge . It's great, and I try and have one in the freezer all year round for an emergency dinner meal. Isolating atm so can't get out so have to eat with carrots instead of neeps though.
 
I use McSweens. But before that was widely available I experimented with my own recipes. I found the trick was using allspice.

(My granny would always add a little allspice to scotch broth, so it’s a familiar flavour to me).
I don't bother with the cabbage leafs except for special occasions.

Furlough will do that to you! 😄 Mmmm, just made it, and it's pretty yum.

Green lentils, porcini mushrooms, finely chopped toasted cashews, chopped rolled oats, instead of the carrot that features in many recipes I used leftover roasted sweet potato. Onion, garlic, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, mushroom soaking liquid, soy sauce, nutritional yeast, salt and lots and lots of pepper. Some more pepper. Another few grinds of pepper. Knob of butter.

Won't bake it, because I often find that mixtures like this lose some of their deliciousness in the baking process.

That sounds really good. :cool:

It had never occurred to me to try making a haggis, veggie or otherwise: I've always just thought of them as something to eat out or buy from Macsween, though their veggie haggis gives you the most incredible duvet-lifters IME.
 
Another vote for McSween’s - don’t care for their black pud* but their veggie haggis is great. Can never have enough pepper either 😎

* more to do with the fact that is doesn’t hold together when frying or grilling (unlike a Bury pud) and just falls to bits
 
I don't like McSweens. I used to get mine from their shop in Edinburgh. They were very offensive to me and I've never been back.

Their haggis aren't that good either.

For really good ones I go to a butcher's shop in either Gullane or Haddington. If only they were more widely available.
