Vegan Haggis. Add the garlic, grated carrot, chopped mushrooms and sunflower seeds. Season with salt and black pepper then add the other spices. I first had vegetarian haggis at Henderson's Restaurant in Edinburgh.

I also added an additional egg which helped it stick together. The haggis is Scotland's most famous contribution to the culinary arts. Vegetarians who know what it contains would leave the country rather than risk eating it. You can have Vegan Haggis using 12 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you cook it.

But some years ago I developed this recipe for vegetarian haggis (or rather, vegan haggis) which I have served many times since. This vegetable haggis from Graham Campbell has all the herbs, spices and binding oats of a conventional haggis, but as it's meat-free, it's particularly suitable for vegetarians and those put off by the thought of eating offal. With a bean, mushroom and lentil mix, this is still a hearty Scottish dish to enjoy and makes a delicious vegetarian Christmas meal. As if we haven't offended the Burns Night traditionalists enough, one company has taken its vegan haggis.
