nmg | The Lunan Haggis

Makes 16lb for 50-60 helpings.

Oatmeal 4 lb
Lambs Liver 4lb
Suet 3lb
Onion 3lb
Salt 8 tsp
Mace 12 tsp
Allspice 12 tsp
Black pepper 12 tsp

Toast the oatmeal under the grill, one lb at a time, stirring frequently until browned
Boil the liver until cooked. Retain the stock.
Mince the liver and onion finely (a food processor is ideal)
Mix everything thoroughly in a large bowl (3 gallon size needed), adding the stock and more water if required. At this stage the mixture must be really sloppy, and should "jaup in the luggie".
Put the mixture into plastic boiling or roasting bags, 3-4lb into each, and boil for 3-4 hours each.

PS: if you're coming to our almost-Burns Night on Friday and haven't yet let us know, can you do so today so that we know how far down we can safely scale the above recipe!
