Yummy haggis samosas

This evening I decided to try making these yummy haggis samosas (with a twist). As you can sea from the pic - they worked out just great!

I first heard about haggis samosas on The Hairy Bikers' latest series "Mum's know best". Apparently they're one of the featured mums' family favourites. The twist is: Instead of using the traditional samosa pastry, you use tortillas.

If you're thinking that the mixture of dry tortilla and claggy haggis is going to be a bit too much stodge - think again, they're just right.

Haggis isn't something I usually have lying around the kitchen, it just so happens I spotted it in the reduced section at Booths recently. Note: Booths is not my usual supermarket (waay too posh!).

You'll be amazed at how quickly these things come together, here's what to do:

• Slice the tortilla into two strips, about 4 fingers wide, discarding the leftover edges.
• With one of the strips, put your finger where the red dot is in the diagram, and fold each side across to make a cone shape, with a flap at the top.
• Fill with haggis.
• Brush the inside of the flap with egg and close it, squashing it firmly shut.
• Brush the rest of the entire samosa.

I found that I had to microwave the haggis for a few seconds on medium before it was pliable enough to fit into the samosa.

If you don't have a deep fat fryer like me, you can just pour the oil into a pan and use that instead. Make sure it's deep though, better safe than sorry!
