An authentic Haggis recipe from BBC.CO.UK. My husband really enjoys good haggis now and then. I have tried it and it reminds me of a slightly spicy sausage. So for all the haggis lovers out there, enjoy!

Ingredients

1 - sheep's stomach or ox secum, cleaned and thoroughly, scalded, turned inside out and soaked overnight in cold salted water
- heart and lungs of one lamb
1 pound lamb trimmings, fat and lean
2 - onions, finely chopped
8 ounces oatmeal
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground dried corriander
1 teaspoon mace
1 teaspoon nutmeg
- water, enough to cook the haggis
- stock from lungs and trimmings

How To Make authentic scottish haggis

Step 1

Wash the lungs, heart and liver (if using). Place in large pan of cold water with the meat trimmings and bring to the boil. Cook for about 2 hours. When cooked, strain off the stock and set the stock aside. Mince the lungs, heart and trimmings. Put the minced mixture in a bowl and add the finely chopped onions, oatmeal and seasoning. Mix well and add enough stock to moisten the mixture. It should have a soft crumbly consistency. Spoon the mixture into the sheep's stomach, so it's just over half full. Sew up the stomach with strong thread and prick a couple of times so it doesn't explode while cooking. Put the haggis in a pan of boiling water (enough to cover it) and cook for 3 hours without a lid. Keep adding more water to keep it covered. To serve, cut open the haggis and spoon out the filling. Serve with neeps (mashed swede or turnip) and tatties (mashed potatoes).
