Best Haggis meal for Burns night!

[pinkiefriend]

Can anyone tell me the best way to cook haggis? I want it so it's not dry. Also, I would like to have a sauce on offer, if people want it, preferably easy to make. I know some people prefer to eat it dry! Do I have Neeps and Tatties with it, or is there something else I can put with it? Happy Burns Night!! X

Wrap it tightly in kitchen foil and cover with water in a pan. Bring to the boil and then reduce to a simmer for about � of an hour. Personally, I always make onion gravy to go with ours and yes...of course you should have bashed neeps and tatties to accompany it! Naturally, a dram or two of a decent malt should be readily to hand.

Happy Burns' Night to you, too.

Click here for Burns's poem to the haggis and read it aloud as the haggis is brought to the table. As you start to read Verse 3, have the carving knife ready and plunge it into the wonderful dish to match the words at that point. Enjoy!

the easiest way is to cut it open and put in the micowave witha few drops of water. saves a lotta time and hassle.
You could always stuff the haggies inside a chicken breast and serve witha creamy whiskey sauce as well .
Or lay it under a nice juicey rib eye steak witha nice whiskey foam on top.
But really pop it into the micowave , thats what mosts chefs do.

I cook mine for an hour and three quarters (a 2lb haggis) I think the 1lb version took about 40 mins. It's actually already cooked so you just need to make sure it's piping (scuse the pun) hot. And of course, you must pour whisky over it as you serve it. And you must put whisky in the gravy and you must toast it with whisky, then drink whisky while you eat it!!!!!

Exacxtly Quizzie and MrsJ. Mine (a geniumne three and a half pounder) is simmering away for about 2 hours and 40 minutes. Just going to do the tatties and neeps and open the whisky. Never had gravy with it but I also have a real butchers steak pie which will have some gravy.

Hope my guests are hungry.

"His knife see Rustic-labour dight,
An' cut you up wi' ready slight,
Trenching your gushing entrails bright,
Like onie ditch:
And then, O what a glorious sight,
Warm-reeking, rich!"

Have a good night everyone.
