Haggis Cooking Guide

Haggis Cooking Guide

Here are the three options, depending on what suits you:

 The traditional way (hob)

  •  Gently simmer, not a rolling boil.
  •  Allow plenty of time rather than rushing it 45-60 minutes gentle simmer.
  •  Let it rest briefly before serving. 
  • Take care when removing from casing and break up with a fork 

The oven way

  • Remove the haggis from it casing and wrap the haggis well in foil.
  •  Pop it in a medium oven (170°c or 160°c fan oven) for 35-40 minutes inside of an oven proof dishes with a little water. 
  • Take care when removing from oven and break up with a fork 

The microwave cheat (yes, really)

  • Remove from casing 
  • Low to medium power
  • Take it steady and don’t rush it – 1 minute then break up, then a minute at a time till heated to piping hot.
  • Take care when removing from microwave and break up with a fork 

Whichever method you choose, the key thing is the same: gentle heat and a bit of patience. 

Optional: Add a knob of butter to any cooking method to enhance the richness
