Guest guest Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 We went to a Burns Night Supper for the first time last night, complete with bagpipes, men in kilts, toasts to Robert Burns, the laddies and the lassies, good whiskey and imported ale, all of which are rather rare in Israel. And, it was vegetarian! Shoshana Vegetarian Haggis (with apologies in advance for the UK-style measurements) Ingredients 1 medium onion, peeled & finely chopped 1 tbsp oil (not olive) 1 medium carrots, very finely chopped 3-4 mushrooms, finely chopped or a small turnip very finely chopped 50g/2oz red lentils 600ml/1 imperial pint vegetable stock 25g/1oz cooked red kidney beans 35g/ 1 1/2 oz ground peanuts 25g/1oz ground walnut 30ml/2tbsp shoyu (soy sauce) 15ml/1tbsp lemon juice 7.5ml/11/2tsp dried thyme or oregano 5ml/1tsp dried rosemary generous pinch cayenne pepper 7.5ml/11/2 tsp mixed spice (nutmeg, cinnamon, etc.) 200g/8oz fine oatmeal Freshly ground black pepper Method 1. Pre-heat the oven to 190°C, 375°F or Gas Mark 5 2. Sauté the onion in the oil for 5 minutes, then add the carrot and mushrooms and cook for a further 5 minutes. 3. Now add the lentils and three quarters of the stock. 4. Blend the mashed red kidney beans in the remaining stock (or in a similar amount of their cooking water), add these to the pan with the nuts, shoyu, lemon juice and seasonings. Cook everything, well mixed together, for a further 10 minutes. 5. Then add the oatmeal, reduce the heat and cook gently for 15 minutes, stir occasionally to make sure that the oatmeal doesn't stick. Adding a little extra liquid if necessary. 6. Turn the mixture into a lightly oiled 1lb loaf tin and bake for 30 minutes. 7. Serve with mashed turnips and potatoes. based on a recipe of The UK Vegetarian Society Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Hi Shoshana Sounds like your Burns night was a great success and I'm delighted to hear that vegetarian haggis is now available outwith Scotland, hot on the heels of its unthinkable me*t cousin and Rabbie Burns. I made the Vegetarian Society recipe last year and really enjoyed it. This year I lacked the energy to make my own and instead bought a MacSween's mini vegetarian haggis which I served with bashed (mashed) tatties (potatoes), neep and carrot crush, savoy cabbage and petits pois. Mashing together neeps (swede/rutabagas) with carrots is such a yummy combination.
