Ingredients
  

  • 1 lamb pluck heart, lungs, and liver
  • 200 g coarse oatmeal
  • 100 g suet
  • 1 large onion finely chopped
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp mace

Instructions
 

  • Thoroughly clean and trim the lamb pluck.
  • Simmer the lamb pluck in water for around 2 hours until tender. Once cooked, dice or grate the pluck and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced/grated lamb pluck with coarse oatmeal, suet, chopped onions, black pepper, ground coriander, and mace. Mix well to create the haggis filling.
  • Stuff the haggis filling into the prepared ox bung casing or pudding basin, leaving room for expansion during cooking.
  • Securely tie off the casing at both ends to prevent spills.
  • Place the filled haggis in a large pot and cover with simmering water.
  • Cook for 1.5 to 2 hours, maintaining a gentle simmer and turning the haggis occasionally.
  • Ensure the haggis reaches an internal temperature of at least 74°C.
  • Once cooked, carefully remove the haggis from the pot.
  • Slice and serve the haggis alongside neeps (mashed swede) and tatties (mashed potatoes) for a traditional Scottish feast.
