The Burns burger

(Serves 4)

Ingredients

For the burger:

  • 4-slice pack of The Farmer’s Son Haggis (220g)
  • 4 beef burgers
  • 4 brioche burger buns

For the whisky sauce:

  • 150ml double cream
  • 1 tsp wholegrain mustard
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp whisky
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives
  • ½ lemon, juice only

Method

  1. For the burgers: Heat a small amount of oil in a shallow frying pan. Cook the burgers for five to eight minutes on either side (depending on thickness) or until cooked to your liking.
  2. For the haggis slices: Heat a small amount of oil in a shallow frying pan to medium heat. Cook slices on each side for 2 minutes until cooked through, do not overcook.
  3. For the whisky sauce: Heat the double cream in a pan over medium heat.
  4. Add the wholegrain mustard, Dijon mustard and whisky and stir to combine. Increase the heat until the mixture is simmering and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes. Finish with the lemon juice and chives.
  5. Assemble the burger and the haggis on a lightly toasted brioche roll. Pour the whisky sauce over the burger before placing the top of the roll. Enjoy!

  • 3cm sliced butternut squash
  • 1 mugful frozen peas
