Your Burns Night supper will be tastier if you cook haggis following one simple rule
Share:
BURNS night is just around the corner. And it's traditional to celebrate the bard, Rabbie Burns, by eating haggis, neeps and tatties for dinner. Even for Scots, cooking haggis can be daunting, given it's a once-a-year treat for many. But cookery author Sam Milner says it can be simple - in fact, you can cook a perfect Burns supper in the air fryer.

Sam said: "The 25th of January is actually my wedding anniversary so holds a particularly special place in my heart. "My husband and I will be celebrating 22 years, along with 25 years since our first date. "We will be celebrating the occasion with some air fryer haggis and some delicious sides , also cooked in the air fryer, reminiscing not just about our love for one another but how much we love haggis in the air fryer.".

Sam says, just like black pudding, the kitchen gadget is ideal to cook the Scots staple. She said: "I looked at the packaging of the haggis I just bought and couldn’t believe it when I read that it takes an hour to cook in the oven. "Compare this to just 10 minutes for air frying haggis. Haggis, like black pudding, can be cooked in slices or as a whole rolled block, like you get from the butchers.

"If you just want to enjoy a bit of Burns Night tradition, then you can even have some haggis for breakfast in your air fryer. "Add slices of haggis to the air fryer basket or drawer, spread them out - so none are on top of each other - and air fry for 10 minutes at 180C.
