For Burn’s Night, try this traditional Scottish dish – haggis, neeps and tatties.*

Whisky is also gluten-free, so your Burns’ Night celebration should be a good one.

Ingredients:

For the haggis

For the neeps

  • turnips (‘neeps’) 400g
  • butter 50g

For the tatties

  • potato 450g
  • butter 50g

Method

  • STEP 1

Cook the haggis. Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Wrap the haggis in foil and lower into the pan. When the water comes back to a simmer, turn the heat right down and leave to cook slowly for 2–3 hours.

  • STEP 2

Meanwhile, cook the turnips (or swedes) and potatoes in separate pans of boiling water for 20-25 minutes. Drain the vegetables separately.

  • STEP 3

Return the turnips to the pan and add 50gs of butter. Mash, although leave a little texture. Season to taste.

  • STEP 4

Return the tatties to the pan too, melt 50g of butter. Mash until silkie smooth.

  • STEP 5

Remove the cooked haggis, cut open and place a spoonful on each plate. Compliment with a dollop of neeps and tatties. Serve
