Make-at-Home Mock Haggis
Haggis, the national dish of Scotland, is traditionally made of the liver, heart & lungs of a sheep, minced with beef or mutton, seasoned then packed into a sheep’s stomach and boiled. Here in Atlantic Canada, that’s not something you’ll find on the average dinner table. We love celebrating traditional meals by putting our own unique spin on it. This mock haggis recipe features easy to find ingredients, is simple to make at home and doesn’t require a sheep’s stomach! It’s also finished with a sweet Glen Breton whisky sauce making it very Atlantic Canadian.
Watch Chef Patrick MacIsaac and The Kilted Chef make this dish in Glenora's kitchen.
