Instructions
For the haggis
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C . Line or lightly grease a loaf tin.
-
Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the onions and cook for 5-10 minutes until they begin to soften. Then add the grated carrot and mushrooms to the pan and cook for another 10 minutes until the vegetables have cooked down.
-
Add the drained lentils and beans, salt, black pepper and nutmeg and cook together for a couple of minutes.
-
Add the pinhead oatmeal, nutritional yeast, sunflower seeds and vegetable stock. Cook the mixture on a low heat for 10-15 minutes. The mixture will begin to thicken ( a bit like a risotto). The mixture should be fairly thick but add a splash of water if it seems too thick.
-
Spoon the mixture into the loaf tin and press the mixture down to bind the ingredients together.
-
Bake for 30- 40 minutes. The top of the haggis should be brown and crispy and the inside fairly moist still.
-
Enjoy with mashed potatoes and red onion gravy.
For the mash
-
Add the chopped potatoes and carrots to a large pan of lightly salted water.
-
Bring to the boil then simmer until soft.
-
Drain and mash.
For the gravy
-
Finely slice your onions into half moons.
-
Gently heat the oil in a medium to large saucepan. Add the onions and cook them slowly until they are dark and caramelised. This takes around 20- 30 minutes.
-
Add the garlic, and sugar and continue to cook for another 5 minutes.
-
Then add the soy sauce and once this has been absorbed you can gradually add the stock. Bring the gravy to a simmer for 10-20 minutes.
-
Place a sieve over a bowl and strain the gravy to remove the onions. Press the onions with the back of a spoon to remove as much liquid as possible. Then return the liquid to the saucepan. (You can keep the onions and use them in the lentil loaf recipe).
-
In a separate bowl mix 1 tablespoon of cornflour with 1 tablespoon of cold water to get a paste. Then add this paste to the gravy and whisk quickly to combine the cornflour. The gravy should start to thicken slightly but it should still be a loose, thin gravy.
