Ingredients

Instructions

  • If using left over haggis, divide it into small pieces and if using haggis slices, chop them up and then roll it into 12 x 20g balls.
  • Place the balls onto a plate and store in the fridge and chill for 10 to 20 minutes before cooking.
  • When you're ready to cook, lay out three bowls: one with the flour, one with the egg wash and one with the breadcrumbs.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a small saucepan over a high heat to 180C.
  • Coat the haggis balls in flour, dip into the egg to coat, then roll in the breadcrumbs. Repeat the egg and breadcrumbs to double coat them.
  • Deep-fry the haggis balls in batches of 6 in the hot vegetable oil for 2 minutes, then drain on kitchen paper before serving with whisky sauce(Thermomix) or quick and easy whisky cream sauce on the side.
  • Alternative cooking method: if you prefer, you can cook the haggis balls in an air fryer - firstly, preheat the air fryer for 6 minutes at 200C. Spray the air fryer rack(s) and haggis balls with spray oil then cook for 12 minutes at 200C.

Notes

    • Use leftover haggis from your Burns supper, or buy a pack of 4 haggis slices to make 12 perfectly sized balls.
    • This haggis balls with whisky sauce recipe is easily adapted if you're cooking for less or more people.
