Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 0.5 pound ground beef
- 0.5 pound chicken livers, finely chopped
- 1 large onion, finely diced
- 1 cup steel-cut oats
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups beef or chicken stock
- 0.5 teaspoon ground allspice
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 sheet parchment paper
- 1 sheet aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the ground lamb, ground beef, and chicken livers to the skillet. Cook for 8-10 minutes, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until everything is browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the steel-cut oats, allspice, black pepper, salt, thyme, and nutmeg. Mix until the oats are evenly coated in the meat mixture.
Pour in the beef or chicken stock and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats absorb the liquid and begin to soften.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the beaten eggs to bind the mixture together.
Form the mixture into a loaf shape and place it onto a sheet of parchment paper. Roll the parchment paper tightly around the loaf, twisting the ends like a candy wrapper.
Wrap the parchment-wrapped loaf in aluminum foil, making sure it is securely sealed to retain moisture during baking.
Place the wrapped loaf on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes.
Remove the loaf from the oven, unwrap it carefully, and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve the North American Haggis warm with mashed potatoes, turnips, or a side salad for a complete meal.
