Haggis Recipe 1 sheep's
lung
1 sheep's stomach
1 sheep heart
1 sheep liver
1/2 lb fresh suet (kidney leaf fat is
preferred)
3/4 cup oatmeal (the ground type, NOT the
Quaker Oats type!)
3 onions, finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 cup stock
Wash lungs and stomach well, rub with salt and rinse.
Remove membranes and excess fat. Soak in cold salted water for several
hours. Turn stomach inside out for stuffing.
Cover heart and liver with cold water. Bring to a boil,
reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Chop heart and coarsely
grate liver. Toast oatmeal in a skillet on top of the stove, stirring
frequently, until golden. Combine all ingredients and mix well. Loosely
pack mixture into stomach, about two-thirds full. Remember, oatmeal
expands in cooking.
Press any air out of stomach and truss securely. Put
into boiling water to cover. Simmer for 3 hours, uncovered, adding more
water as needed to maintain water level. Prick stomach several times with
a sharp needle when it begins to swell; this keeps the bag from bursting.
Place on a hot platter, removing trussing strings. Serve with a spoon.
Ceremoniously served with "neeps, tatties and nips" -- mashed turnips,
mashed potatoes, nips of whiskey.
