For Burns Night, start with scallops. Those harvested on the Scottish coast are widely regarded as the best in the world. Our baked scallops with sautéed leeks, Crowdie and breadcrumbs make an impressive starter. Or if you prefer a more traditional supper, a starter soup course is customary. Cullen skink is a thick, Scottish soup made with haddock, potatoes and onion. Serve chunky, our favourite way, or blitz until smooth.
Haggis is almost more important to Burns Night than Rabbie Burns himself. But why not try something a little different this year? Our haggis parcels with marmalade, spinach and goat’s cheese are impressive-looking and undoubtedly Scottish. Marmalade is believed to be a Scottish innovation. It is said an industrious merchant and his wife made the most out of a cargo of Seville oranges from a Spanish ship stranded in Dundee harbour back in 1700. Our roasted pumpkin stuffed with haggis can be made with the leftovers. Or it can be a Burns Night supper in its own right. Serve individual squashes or have everyone share for a jolly main course.
Finally, it’s not quite tipsy laird, but our honey, whisky and walnut tart will make a popular pudding. Best served with whipped cream and a wee dram.
WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR BURNS NIGHT LEFTOVERS
And finally, once Auld Lang Syne has brought the evening to a close, it’s time to start planning your leftovers suppers. Haggis pakora is an ingenious Scottish Indian fusion, and an excellent post-Burns Night snack. Or our millerighe haggis pasta with pesto is great comfort food for a January lunchtime.
