To a Haggis
In this short, rough video shot before Burn’s Night, Abram Goldman-Armstrong shows you how to prepare the center piece for the supper….HAGGIS! Follow the recipe below to make your Haggis just in time for this years celebrations. Ingredients: One sheep’s stomach (or two pig stomachs (available at Mexican or Asian stores)) 2 lamb hearts (or two pig or one beef heart) Sheeps lungs ½ a lamb’s liver (generally about ½ pound) Optional 1.5 # ground lamb or lamb stew meat 2 large yellow onions 6 cups toasted pinhead or steel cut oats 1 cup barley (I prefer pale malted barley linking the haggis to the libations consumed with the supper) 1 cup lamb suet or Manteca 1 bottle strong Scotch ale salt and pepper to taste Boil lungs, heart, and ground lamb or stew meat for 1½ hours, add liver and boil an additional 30 minutes. Toast oats in a cast iron skillet over low heat stirring constantly to avoid scorching. Strain meat and retain broth. Chop meat finely (a food processor is a great help with this) and mix with oats, barley, suet, onion, and wet with broth and beer. The mixture should not be wet, but rather damp. Add spices if desired. Stuff the mixture into the stomach bag keeping in mind that the grains will swell in the boil. Stitch up with sturdy thread, and boil in large pot for two hours. When it begins to swell prick the stomach with a needle to keep it from bursting. Serve on a platter (ideally lead in by a piper) and read Robert Burns’ “Address to a Haggis”
