Vegetarian Haggis

Some friends sent us this recipe in preparation for a virtual Burn's Supper – and we were surprised that the kids rated it highly! No sheep entrails required.

• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 tsp. sunflower oil (or olive oil)
• 1/4 cup chopped carrots
• 3/8 cup chopped mushrooms
• 1/4 cup red lentils
• 2 1/2 cups strong vegetable stock
• 1 can red kidney beans, mashed
• 1/8 cup chopped hazelnuts (or pine nuts)
• 2 Tbsp. soy sauce
• 1 tsp. lemon juice
• 1 1/2 tsp. thyme
• 1 tsp rosemary (or savory)
• Cayenne pepper to taste
• 1 1/2 tsp. allspice
• 1 cup oatmeal
• fresh ground black pepper

Saute onion in oil. Add carrots, then mushrooms. Add lentils and half of the stock. Add kidney beans, soy sauce, lemon juice, seasonings, and the other half of the stock. Cook 10-15 minutes, then add the oatmeal and simmer for 20 minutes. Put in loaf pan and bake for 30 minutes at 375.

Serve with potatoes.
