bought or homemade) 2 cups root vegetables (carrots, parsnips, turnips, and beets), peeled and chopped 2 tbsp olive oil Salt and pepper, to taste 1 cup heavy cream 1/4 cup whisky 1/4 cup gluten
free chicken or vegetable broth 2 tbsp cornstarch 1 tbsp butter Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Toss the root vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 30 35 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized. While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the haggis according to package instructions or recipe guidelines. Slice the haggis into thick rounds and set aside. In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, whisky, and gluten free broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the simmering sauce, stirring constantly until thickened. Remove from heat and whisk in butter. To assemble the dish, place a layer of roasted root vegetables at the base of each serving plate. Top with a slice of haggis, then drizzle generously with the whisky cream sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley.
