With Burns Night Coming up at the weekend I thought it would be nice to try and develop a haggis recipe with a modern twist to it. I haven’t made the haggis mixture I’ve bought the Macsween Haggis, vegetarian sausage that you can get from all good supermarkets. Made into little balls, rolled in paprika and cayenne pepper these bites have a lovely kick to them, especially when dipped into the creme fraiche and chilli chutney dip.

I’ve been thinking about this recipe making it Vegan too! So instead of beaten egg, I think Aquafaba would be a good substitute and stick the bread crumbs on!

Then instead of creme fraiche, vegan mayo and chutney would work well too!

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Take the mixture out of the packet.

  2. 2

    Cut it into 8 slices, then in half again to make 16 pieces, then roll them into little balls.

  3. 3

    Take 3 bowls, place the flour, salt, paprika and cayenne pepper into one, give it stir with a fork, mix it well. Next whisk an egg into another. Then the final one pour in the bread crumbs.

  4. 4

    Now using one hand only, (you will see why later). Dip the balls into the flour, then egg, lastly the bread crumbs making sure they are given a good coating.

  5. 5

    Place them on a plate to rest.

  6. 6

    Get a medium sized pan, pour in the oil. You need to heat it up to approximately 170 degrees. Please be careful have a damp tea towel on hand just in case. I use a thermometer to check the temperature. Once it as at the correct temperature. Using a metal spoon add a few of the balls.

  7. 7

    They take a couple of minutes to go golden, once they have gone golden, carefully lift them out and place them on to kitchen paper so they drain any of the excess fat off.

  8. 8

    In a small bowl put the creme fraiche, chutney and salt and mix well.

  9. 9

    Arrange on a plate, get dipping in. Enjoy!
