METHOD: Set oven to 180C/gas mark 5. Chop up haggis and mash while raw, shaping into 12 bon bons.

Roll in flour then coat in beaten egg and roll in the breadcrumbs until coated.

Spray an oven tray lightly with oil and place the bon bons on.

Pop in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.

Meanwhile, chop the beetroot and put in a blender.

Add the Crabbie’s until it becomes a soft purée.

Season with salt & pepper to taste.

When serving, add a teaspoon of apple sauce just to secure the bon bon on the plate and serve the beetroot purée at the side.

You can also serve with a side salad.
