Ingredients

  • 8 good-quality pork sausages (about 454g)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 1 large parsnip, peeled and sliced
  • 200g haggis, crumbled
  • 400g can chopped tomatoes
  • 300ml beef stock
  • 1 tablespoon tomato puree
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 200g tinned cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Method

  • Step 1 : Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 180°C

  • Step 2 : Brown the Sausages

    In a large ovenproof casserole dish, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook until browned all over, (this should take about 5-7 minutes). Remove sausages and set aside.

  • Step 3 : Sauté Vegetables

    In the same dish, add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and parsnip. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften and the onions become translucent.

  • Step 4 : Add Haggis

    For a Scottish twist, add the crumbled haggis to the vegetables and cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  • Step 5 : Combine Ingredients

    Add the chopped tomatoes, beef stock, tomato puree, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, bay leaves, and smoked paprika. Stir well to combine the flavours.

  • Step 6 : Return Sausages to the Casserole

    Place the sausages back into the casserole dish and stir to coat them with the sauce.

  • Step 7 : Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover the casserole dish with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.

  • Step 8 : Bake

    Bake in the oven for 1 hour, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.

  • Step 9 : Add Beans

    After 1 hour, remove the casserole from the oven and stir in the drained cannellini beans. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Return the dish to the oven and cook uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes.

  • Step 10 : Serve

    Remove the bay leaves before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with crusty bread or creamy mashed potatoes. We recommend adding lots of butter!
