This is a modern Scottish recipe that gives the new twist on the old staple of Haggis and makes an interesting alternative dish for Hogmanay or Burns Night.

Ingredients:

1 haggis
250ml (1 cup) beer
140g (1 cup) plain flour
salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
1 tsp paprika
oil for deep frying

For the Sauce:
1 tbsp whisky
1 tbsp mustard (Arran grain mustard, if available)
60ml (1/4 cup) double cream

Method:

Sift the flour and paprika into a bowl then whisk in the beer to give a thick but smooth batter.

Split open the haggis and shape the filling into balls about the size of a walnut.

Pour the oil into a wok to give a depth of about 5cm. Heat the oil to 180°C (360°F). When the oil is hot, dip the haggis balls in the beer batter to coat. Drop, a few at a time into the hot oil and cook until the batter is golden brown and the haggis filling is hot through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper as you cook the next batch.

When the fried haggis balls are drained, transfer to a low oven to keep warm.

Whisk together the cream, mustard and whisky in a bowl to make a light pouring sauce. Arrange the haggis balls on a serving dish with the mustard and whisky sauce in the centre. This makes an excellent sharing dish for Hogmanay or can be served as a different kind of starter for Burns Night.
