Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients and directions for this recipe

4 tb Olive oil
1 tb Balsamic vinegar
Vegetable oil for deep
-frying
350 g Haggis
225 g Self-raising flour
250 g Curly leaf kale; stalks
-removed and
; rinsed
6 Unpeeled whole garlic cloves
1 lg Potato; peeled
3 Rashers dry cured streaky
-bacon; diced
2 tb Double cream
1 Egg yolk
1 ds Worcestershire sauce
150 ml Red wine
1 tb Chopped onion
1 ts Tomato puree
Salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 220c/425f/Gas 7.

1 Mix together 3 tbsp olive oil and the balsamic vinegar. Fill a deep pan
one third full with vegetable oil and heat. Break up the haggis and shape
two-thirds to make five 'sausages'.

2 Place the flour in a bowl, add 300ml/ 1/2 pint water and mix to make a
batter. Add the sausages, coat in the batter and deep fry until golden
brown and cooked through. Drain on kitchen paper.

3 Add the kale to a large pan of boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes
until wilted. Drain the kale well. Serve the battered sausages with half
the wilted kale and drizzle over some of the balsamic vinegar dressing.

4 Place the garlic in a pan of boiling water and blanch for 2-3 minutes.
Drain. Cut the potato into six pieces and use a small sharp knife to 'turn'
~ cut off any edges to give a rounded shape - retaining the trimmings.

5 Par-boil the turned potatoes for about five minutes in a pan of boiling
water and drain. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan, add the turned
potatoes and garlic cloves and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

6 Place the potatoes, garlic and bacon on a baking sheet and cook in the
oven for 6-8 minutes, or until browned and the bacon is crisp. Serve the
roasted potatoes, garlic and bacon with the remaining kale.

7 Cook the potato trimmings in a pan of boiling water until tender and
drain. Warm the double cream in a small pan, pour onto the boiled potato
trimmings, add the egg yolk, season and mash.

8 Heat a frying pan, add the remaining haggis 'mince', cook for 2-3 minutes
and add 2 tbsp water and a dash of Worcestershire sauce. Cook for a further
1-2 minutes and season.

9 Place a large cooking ring on a baking sheet and fill with the mince
mixture. Spoon the mash over the top and bake in the oven for 10-12
minutes, or until golden brown.

10 Heat the red wine in a pan and simmer rapidly for about two minutes to
reduce. Add the chopped onion, tomato puree and a dash of Worcestershire
sauce and cook for a further minute. Season.

11 Carefully remove the potato topped haggis from the baking sheet and take
off the ring, drizzle over the balsamic dressing and serve with the sauce.
