Haggis, with Potato, and Carrot and Turnip Mash


This dish has appeared on this blog before, Traditionally, it is haggis, plus potato and turnip or swede mash. I like to sweeten the turnip mash with carrot, but I love it in most forms. This was a MacSween haggis, which is, by general agreement, the best haggis available. I'm not sure however if they include some minimal amount of wheat in the recipe. I'd like to know. Haggis needs oats, but it doesn't need wheat. 

One of the great things about this dish is how it is possible to do the whole thing in a single steamer. No extra herbs, no extra salt, no added stock. 45 minutes cooking time all told, and ready to serve on the plate.I've had deep fried haggis (in the distant past), which is also quite delicious. But that was decades ago, and I won't revisit that.

Breast of Chicken with Baby Carrots and Hummus

Steamed breast of chicken with carrots, green beans and hummus.

Really easy to do. Baby carrots topped and tailed and placed in the bottom level of the steamer (they were boiled rather than steamed). The breast of chicken was placed in a bowl in the upper tier, along with the green beans. Timed for 40 minutes from the time the water came to the boil, when the chicken and vegetables were added. 

Served with two dessert spoonfuls of hummus. Black pepper to taste.
