Recipe
Haggis & Neeps Burger
A bold Scottish-style burger with savoury haggis, buttery mashed neeps, and a rich, warming flavour.
Ingredients
Method
Boil chopped turnip in salted water for 20–25 minutes until very tender, then drain well.
Mash turnip with butter, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth and thick; keep warm.
Season beef patties lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a pan or grill and cook patties for 3–4 minutes per side (or to your preferred doneness).
Warm and crumble cooked haggis in a small pan over low heat.
Toast burger buns and spread with mustard mayo if using.
Assemble burgers with beef patty, warm haggis, a spoon of neeps mash, and optional onion/rocket.
Serve hot with fries, wedges, or a simple side salad.
Notes
Keep neeps mash fairly thick so it sits well in the burger.
Warm haggis just before assembly for best texture and flavour.
Add peppery rocket or a tangy mustard mayo to balance richness.
