Haggis with warm butter bean & spinach salad

 

Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 454g Macsween Vegetarian Haggis, casing removed and cut into 2.5 cm pieces
  • 200g pack Waitrose Marinated and Grilled Red and Yellow peppers (from the chiller cabinet)
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 420g can butter beans, drained and rinsed
  • 150g pitted olives, drained
  • 2 tbsp Waitrose Balsamic vinegar
  • 225g bag baby spinach
 

Method:

  1. Heat oil in a large frying pan and gently cook the haggis for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to break up and turn crisp. Remove the pan from the heat and cover with foil to keep the haggis warm.
  2. Meanwhile, place the peppers with their oil in another frying pan with the paprika and cook for 2 minutes, then stir in the butter beans and olives and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the beans are heated through. Stir in the vinegar, cook for 1 minute, then remove from the heat.
  3. Place the spinach in a large mixing bowl, add the warm bean mixture and toss to combine. Divide between 6 plates, then spoon the haggis over the top. Serve immediately, with a wholemeal bread such as Waitrose Organic Old Fashioned Wholemeal Batch.

Cook's tip
Alternatively, for a non-vegetarian option, use Macsween Handmade Traditional Haggis, chop as above, then cook as in Step 1.

Drink
Try a crisp white wine such as a Sauvingnon blanc. The Fresh, clean fruit flavors work well with the olives and dressing.
