We like haggis at our house, so, in preparation for Burns Night, I'd picked up my haggis from the supermarket, and was planning to make our normal haggis supper - haggis, chips and mushy peas - when my teen spotted someone on the web talking about haggis nachos.
Now, at first, that sounds like a rather weird culinary-fusion idea, but I thought a while and decided to try it.
There are a variety of versions on the web, and I remembered I'd seen one in Sue Lawrence's Eating In book, but basically, you cook the haggis (I did ours in the microwave) then break it up and layer the meat with nachos, cheese and jalapenos before popping in the oven to melt the cheese. You could always serve guacamole or salsa with it, but we didn't. We were a bit too enthusiastic with the jalapenos,especially as haggis is rather spicy itself, but apart from that we enjoyed it. Nest year though I think I'd like to find a way to make 'traditional' deep-fried haggis sausages ...
