Help with a Haggis

[jordanjm]

Hey everyone, I have purchased my first haggis. It is a Cameron's Scottish Brand Haggis made in the U.S.A. I need some ideas of what to do with it, as well as some recipes for side dishes. (Ones that do not use alcohol would be highly appreciated.) The haggis is frozen, and it says that it should be steamed. I know about neeps and tatties, but how do I prepare them?

To prep the tatties and neeps, do the following.

Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into cubes about 1 1/2". Place in a pot of salted water. Boil the potatoes until tender, about 15 mins. Drain the water and mash the potatoes in the pot. Add 2 Tbsps. of butter and 1/4 to 1/2 c. of milk. If you have a handheld mixer, use it to blend in the butter and milk. Transfer to a serving bowl.

The turnip is prepared in the same way but omit the milk. I like to add a Tbsp. of brown sugar to my "neeps".

Good luck!

Next time your in the market, I suggest the Beef Haggis from New Caledonian Kitchen. Owner by the name of Jim Walters. His top 4 haggis's are this years World Haggis Taste Championships. In the blind taste tests, he beat out the world in Scotland. And he's right here in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas. Leave it to a Texan to make the World's Top 4 Haggis.

I had some this past Saturday night. It was served right out of the casing, with crackers. I've also had it as the main ingredient for a sheppard's pie derivative.

Take some potatoes, green beans, little bit of brown gravy, and top it with a heap of haggis.
