Ingredients

  • 14oz haggis(crumbled)
  • 18oz lamb mince
  • 2 pcs carrots(peeled and roughly chopped)
  • 1 pc onions(peeled and roughly chopped)
  • 16 7/8 fl oz vegetable broth
  • 2lb potatoes(peeled and cut into large chunks)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
  • tsp salt(to taste)
  • tsp black pepper(to taste)
  • 2oz butter(for the potato topping)
  • 3 3/8 fl oz milk(for the potato topping, warmed)

Instructions

Haggis Topping

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/Gas Mark 6).
  2. Boil the potato chunks in salted water for 15-20 minutes, until tender. Drain well.
  3. Mash the potatoes with butter and warmed milk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  4. In a separate bowl, crumble the haggis if it's in a casing. You want a coarse texture for the topping.

Lamb Filling

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large, ovenproof skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the lamb mince and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess fat.
  3. Add the chopped carrots and onions to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the meat and vegetables. Stir well and cook for 1 minute.
  5. Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer.
  6. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Let the filling simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

Assembly and Baking

  1. Spread the mashed potato evenly over the lamb filling in the skillet. You can create fork patterns for a decorative finish.
  2. Alternatively, transfer the lamb filling to a baking dish and top with the mashed potato.
  3. Sprinkle the crumbled haggis over the mashed potato topping. Aim for an even layer.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  5. Allow to stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.
