Cooking haggis

[alman]

Picked up a haggis from tesco earlier which has no directions for boiling on it, i always thought this was the correct way, can anyone tell me how long to boil one for?

Wrap it in foil, tightly to mitigate the chance of it bursting, it may still do but it definitely will if you dont wrap it in foil.

Boil up the water, insert haggis, reduce to a simmer.

A kilo haggis takes a bit over an hour, say 70 minutes to be safe.

Nice one

If you want to eat it right away you can simply cut the haggis open and peel off the casing. Put the enormo-sausage into a glass dish and nuke it. About 7 minutes for 2 person, roughly 10 for a 4 person job. I cover mine in the nuker to prevent from drying out.

Accepted technique is to nuke for half the time, fork the meat through (mash it up) and then nuke the remainder.

Whilst the aficiandos may scoff and say "But you can't slash it open with a knife whilst reciting poetry!" I don't give a st. I hate poetry and love haggis. Eat and enjoy...

Thanks for the microwave idea but i'm gonna be doing neeps n tatties aswell so i don't mind waiting, it's only a half kilo haggis so should take about 35 minutes, cheers.

Remember to open a window.

(I quite like eating Haggis that somebody else has cooked, but cooking one stinks out the house)
