Notes: I went to a St Andrew's day online concert party given by Elsa Jean McTaggart and Gary Lister from the Isle of Lewis. I didn't have all the ingredients so took some cues from what was in stock and what the other recipes included. The recipe didn't specify what sort of lentil to use. I had red lentils and Puy lentils, either would do. I chose red lentils. For spices I used nutmeg. I didn't have allspice or cinnamon so I used a Spice Mountain Lebanese 7 spice mix. Instead of Borlotti beans I used kidney beans with their juice and roughly chopped in a Thermomix Instead of stock and salt I water and added plenty of soy sauce. Instead of 2 egg yolks I used egg. For a vegan version just leave the egg out. The recipe said to wrap the haggis rolls in cling film and poach for 30 min. I thought that was too much faff for me. Instead I arranged them in a casserole dish added a tablespoon of water, covered with the lid and microwaved them for 10 min and that worked well. They were delish and were followed with a wee dram of Glenmorangie Whisky
