From BBC FoodCelebrate Burns Night with The Hairy Bikers' recipe of haggis, neeps, tatties and whisky sauce.
Ingredients
500g/1lb 2oz haggis
For the clapshot
500g/1lb 2oz floury potatoes, such as Maris Piper or King Edward, peeled, chopped
500g/1lb 2oz swede (yellow turnip), peeled, chopped
50g/2oz butter
75ml/2¾fl oz double cream
sea salt and freshly ground white pepper
1 tbsp chopped fresh chives
For the whisky sauce
500ml/17fl oz double cream
2 tsp wholegrain mustard
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tsp whisky
sea salt and freshly ground white pepper
1 tbsp chopped fresh chives
½ lemon, juice only
Method
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
Wrap the haggis tightly in aluminium foil and place onto a baking tray. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes to one hour, or until cooked through.
Meanwhile, for the clapshot, boil the potatoes and swede in separate saucepans of salted water for 15-18 minutes, or until tender. Drain well. Add the drained swede to the drained potatoes and mash thoroughly. Add the butter and cream and mash again until smooth and well combined. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground white pepper. Stir in the tablespoon of chives. Set aside and keep warm.
For the whisky sauce, heat the double cream in a pan over a medium heat. Add the wholegrain mustard, Dijon mustard and whisky and stir to combine. Increase the heat until the mixture is simmering and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground white pepper. Stir in the tablespoon of chives, then whisk in the lemon juice.
To serve, divide the clapshot equally among four serving plates. Place a spoonful of steamed haggis alongside each. Spoon over the warm whisky sauce.
