Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a large frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the grated carrot and chopped mushrooms to the pan. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the sunflower seeds, cooked lentils, and rolled oats. Mix well to combine.
Sprinkle in the ground pepper, nutmeg, and allspice. Add the soy sauce, salt, and vegetable stock. Mix thoroughly and let it simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Transfer the mixture to a greased ovenproof dish and press lightly to level the surface.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the top is slightly crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the vegetarian haggis rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot, accompanied by creamy mashed potatoes, turnips, and a rich gravy or your favorite sauce.
