Vegan Mabon Haggis

Haggis is traditionally thought to be a Scottish meal, but haggis has Celtic or Nordic roots; so mine is the perfect Mabon meat-less meat dish … 

And it goes wonderful with
baked or roasted sweet
potatoes, or roasted turnips.

Preparation is the key to this ‘meat’. The original vegetarian recipe simply used soy beans, but I’ve found the VTP and the beef powder adds the meatiness needed to make this special and tasty meat-less meat.

Haggis isn’t a solid like meatloaf, so don’t expect for this to be slice-able, it’s more  like the texture of stuffing or a sloppy-Joe, so you have to spoon it out to serve it. That’s why haggis is classed as a savoury pudding (like meat and potato pudding).

This is an old dish that was veganized, but is still just as meatily tasting.

Ingredients

• 3 potatoes
• 1 cup chickpeas
• 2 slices of bread
• none-dairy milk
• 3 carrots, grated
• 1 tbsp coconut oil
• 2 onions, finely chopped
• 1 cup vegetable textured protein hydrated in water (or vegy grounds)
• 3 tbsp vegan ‘beefy’ punch powder (see below for recipe)
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2 tsp herbs
• salt and pepper

Directions

1. Boil and then mash the potatoes. Mash the chickpeas. Soak the bread in some none-dairy milk. Saute the carrots in the oil and a little water, until softened. Then add the onion, VTP (vegetable textured protein), and beefy powder and continue sauteing until the onion is translucent.
2. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C/350 degrees F/gas mark 4.
3. Add all the ingredients to a large bowl ~ including the garlic, herbs and seasonings. Combine until the bread, potatoes, and beans are mixed thoroughly into the carrot mix. Line a loaf tin with enough foil to wrap up the haggis mix. Oil the inside of the foil. Spoon in the haggis mix, then enclose in the foil and twist up both bends to form a sausage or cracker shape.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Carefully uncover the haggis from the top foil covering and return to to oven 10 to 15 mins ~ until a crust forms over the surface. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

NB: Serve with potatoes and turnip or swede..

This powder packs a meaty punch. It works well in stocks and soups, and is great to add to meat-less meat to simulate a beef flavour.
