| Vegetarian Haggis Stuffed Peppers |
In the last post I mentioned Vegetarian Haggis, and different ways to serve it.
A couple of weeks ago we drove inland to the Cairngorms to see snow (A bit of a novelty for South Africans).
We found this inviting looking pub called the Strathmore Arms next to Glamis Castle.
As vegetarians on the move we expected the worst – but were pleasantly
surprised to find 2 vegetarian main dishes!
Karen chose Vegetarian Haggis Stuffed Peppers served with a fresh garden salad, while

| Vegetable Strudel |
I opted for their Vegetable Strudel with boiled baby potatoes and a Hollandaise Sauce.
Both were delicious.
At home we’ve made stuffed peppers a number of times, using bought vegetarian haggis, and you could use this as a filling in the Strudel, stuffed mushrooms or stuffed butternut.
Here is our version of the Stuffed Peppers:
Red peppers stuffed with vegetarian haggis and a fresh garden salad: (Serves 2)
Ingredients:
2 large red peppers cut in half and de-seeded.
2 cups of vegetarian haggis – see notes if you can’t buy haggis
1 can of chopped tomatoes and onions
1 cup grated cheese (mature cheddar)
small mixed salad – lettuce, tomatoe and cucumber
2 T salad dressing
Method:
1. Fill the peppers with half the vegetarian haggis mixture
2. Place the peppers in a baking dish and pour over the tomatoe and onion mixture
3. Bake at 180’C for 30 mins
4. Remove from oven and top with the grated cheese and grill for a few minutes until golden
5. Roughly chop and toss your mixed salad in a bowl with the dressing
6. Serve two stuffed peppers per person with the side salad.
Notes:
Haggis is usually a meat dish. It is made using offal, oats, vegetables and seasoning held together with sheep’s stomach.
Which sounds awful to me and I certainly don’t want to try it.
Here is a Quick and Easy Recipe for Vegetarian Haggis Stuffing:
