Haggis Bon Bons

Ingredients
  

  • 250 g haggis
  • 2 ½ slices white bread
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 50 g onion diced
  • 1 tbsp plain flour
  • 1 medium egg beaten
  • sunflower oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Put the haggis into a blender with the half slice of bread torn into pieces. Add a ¼ teaspoon of paprika and the onion, and blitz until well mixed.
  • Roll the haggis mix into 20g balls – you’ll get 12-15 balls.
  • Blitz remaining slices of bread to get breadcrumbs and put them in a bowl. Put the flour and the remaining paprika into another bowl, and put the beaten egg into a third bowl.
  • Treating them gently roll the haggis balls in the flour, then the egg and then the breadcrumbs, making sure they’re fully coated.
  • To cook shallow fry the bon bons in about 1.5cm sunflower oil until they are golden all over. You can also bake them with a drizzle of oil at 200ºC/180ºC fan/gas mark 6 for 15 minutes, or cook them in an air fryer.
