On the 25th of January each year, Scots around the world celebrate the birthday of the poet Rabbie Burns by eating haggis. Traditional haggis is made from a sheep;s pluck – its heart, liver and lungs. These are finely chopped or minced and cooked up with oatmeal and barley, stuffed into a sheep’s stomach, and cooked some more.
Haggis is a serious bit of nose-to-tail cookery. This year, I decided to do a vegetarian haggis. This vegetable-based haggis recipe still uses the grains, and recreates the savoury, peppery flavour and texture of traditional haggis – it’s actually delicious.

Looks great 🤗
Colonel Sanders ..is that you?🤔🤔
Vegetarian Haggis ? wonder what Mr R Burns would make of that ?
I'd recommend wrapping it tighter when your first cooking it and maybe steaming it. Looks great done in oven too though.
I don't know how anyone can eat the "proper" haggis, just the idea of it is enough to make me sick (and I am Scottish). I do however LOVE the vegetarian version
Do you have to steep the pulses xxxx
That looks delicious xxxx
Not to be pedantic but how can it be Haggis if it's vegetarian. It's the same nonsense as there is with so called vegetarian sausages. I'm sure it tastes nice but name it something else and don't call it what it's not.
Made this! Delicious! Thank you, Keef!
I gotta give this un a try Keefer
Thank you! =)
Looks Delicious 👍 Keefs .Txs for Sharing
Aaahhh! Great Chieftan O' the puddin' race! As a piper I'm quite familiar with the ceremony surrounding Haggis. With great fanfare we would march the haggis in on a stretcher. The master of ceremony would recite Burns' poem, raise a dram of Scotch, then stab it with his sgean dubh! Warm reekin' rich! I used to make a version of this called pan haggis made from coarsely ground beef liver,kidney,heart, boiled grated onion,toasted pinhead oats,dash of nutmeg,allspice,black pepper all sauteed in a pan with a bit of beef broth to moisten, then steamed in a pudding basin. Served with a small side of roast beef and gravy,mushy peas{Batchelors' dried Marrowfats},and mashed neeps and tatties. Unfortunately,true haggis is banned in the U.S. Although, that may be lifted soon. People here are overly concerned about Mad Cow Disease.Why haven't they banned oxtails as well? It's part of the spinal system. If you can't go to your grave fat,senile and happy what good is life? I'm sorry. I tend to get lengthy.As always it's a pleasure to share with you. Cheers and MMMOOOOHHHH BWAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
That looks amazing, cant wait to try it. Only need to sub the butter for a vegan version.
USA-based vegetarian here. I love the celebratory butter! Have never before considered veggie haggis.
Interesting recipe. It looked like it turned out well. I suppose if a pipe and drum band isn't available, perhaps playing something with pipes and drums in it, like Mull Of Kintyre, by Paul McCartney and Wings might suffice.
Keef, keep it as it is, if it ain't broke etc. Can you research the northern chip shop style steak pudding with its leathery pastry which I cannot get to the bottom of, it might be suet but how do they get it like rubbery leather? John uk
Bit of an editing error, you repeated the part where you were boiling the barley so it had a bit of bite
