burns night recipes

Neeps, or swedes, are the traditional Scottish accompaniment to haggis. Try serving this creamy, indulgent side dish recipe as part of a knockout roast dinner, with haggis-stuffed turkey and whisky gravy. 

Creamy neeps

double cream

semi-skimmed milk

garlic

(about 1.5kg) swedes,

Butter,

crumbly goat’s cheese,

Preheat the oven to 190°C/fan170°C/gas 5. Heat the cream, milk and whole garlic cloves in a small pan over a low heat until almost boiling. Remove from the heat and set aside to infuse for at least 15 minutes.

Blanch the swede in a pan of boiling salted water for 4-5 minutes until almost tender, drain, then layer in a medium buttered ovenproof dish with the cheese and lots of seasoning. Pour over the cream, discard the garlic, and sprinkle with the extra cheese.

Bake for 30-35 minutes until the swede is cooked and the dish is bubbling and golden.

Buttery braised savoy cabbage is served up with a slightly Scottish twist – oatmeal. Serve as a side dish to your Burns Night supper – it would work well with rack of venison. &nbsp;

Savoy cabbage with oatmeal

butter

olive oil

carrot, finely chopped

shallot, finely chopped

celery sticks, finely chopped

⅓ leek, finely chopped

thyme

garlic cloves, chopped

½ savoy cabbage, finely shredded

tbsp pinhead oatmeal,

Black and white sesame seeds to sprinkle (optional)

Put the butter and olive oil in a large frying pan over a low-medium heat and melt the butter. Add the carrot, shallot, celery, leek, thyme and garlic, then cook for 5 minutes until softened but not coloured.

Add the cabbage with a splash of water so it steams. After 4-5 minutes, stir through the oatmeal. Cook for a further 3-4 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper, then add the sesame seeds, if using.
