Pan-fried scallops with crumbled haggis & bacon

Scallops with black pudding is a restaurant classic – but we've given it a Scottish flavour with a sprinkling of haggis instead. Haggis is traditionally served on Burns Night (25 January) and this is a great way to try it if you’ve never tasted it before.

Ingredients

6 tbsp crumbled haggis

4 rashers Extra Special Oak Smoked Dry Cured Streaky Bacon

3 x 200g bags Chosen by you Uncooked & Shelled Scallops, defrosted

1 tbsp whisky

200g salad leaves

2 tbsp chopped pistachios

Method

1
Heat a frying pan and dry-fry the haggis until crispy. Set aside on a few sheets of kitchen paper to absorb any excess oil.
2
Add the bacon rashers to the pan and cook until crisp. Set aside to cool (leaving the oil in the frying pan), then crumble into small pieces.
3
Fry the scallops in the leftover oils in the pan for 2 minutes on each side, until golden and cooked through. Set aside.
4
Add the whisky to the juices in the frying pan and cook over a high heat for 1 minute to reduce slightly.
5
Arrange the salad leaves between 8 plates. Put the scallops on top, then sprinkle over the haggis and bacon.
6
Drizzle the whisky juices from the pan over the salad leaves. Sprinkle over the chopped pistachios to serve.
