Ingredients (Makes 4)

  • 500g/1lb 2oz floury potatoes, peeled, chopped
  • 500g/1lb 2oz swede (yellow turnip, peeled, chopped
  • 50g/2oz butter
  • 75ml/2¾fl oz double cream

  • 500ml/17fl oz double cream
  • 2 tsp wholegrain mustard

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
  2. Wrap the haggis tightly in aluminium foil and place onto a baking tray. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes to one hour, or until cooked through.
  3. Meanwhile, for the clapshot, boil the potatoes and swede in separate saucepans of salted water for 15-18 minutes, or until tender. Drain well. Add the drained swede to the drained potatoes and mash thoroughly. Add the butter and cream and mash again until smooth and well combined. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground white pepper. Stir in the tablespoon of chives. Set aside and keep warm.
  4. For the whisky sauce, heat the double cream in a pan over a medium heat. Add the wholegrain mustard, Dijon mustard and whisky and stir to combine. Increase the heat until the mixture is simmering and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Remove the pan from the heat and season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground white pepper. Stir in the tablespoon of chives.
  6. To serve, divide the clapshot equally among four serving plates. Place a spoonful of steamed haggis alongside each. Spoon over the warm whisky sauce.
