Ingredients
Whiskey Cream Sauce
- 3/4 cup / 180ml Double/Heavy Cream, at room temp
- 3/4 cup / 180ml Beef Stock
- 1/2 cup / 120ml + 1 tsp Whiskey (see notes)
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 1 tsp Wholegrain Mustard
- 2 small Shallots, finely diced
- 1 clove of Garlic, finely diced
- 1/4 tsp Coarse Ground Black Pepper, or to taste (see notes)
- pinch of Salt, to taste
Haggis Sandwich
- 1lb / 450g portion of Haggis, cooked to packet instructions
- 8 rashers of Back Bacon, cooked to preference
- 8 slices of Tiger Bread, lightly toasted
- 4 heaped tbsp Onion Chutney
- few pinches of White Pepper, optional
Instructions
- In a large pan over medium heat melt 1 tbsp butter. Add in shallots and sweat down until soft. Add in garlic & black pepper and fry for 1-2mins. Pour in whiskey and reduce right down for a few mins until mostly evaporated. This is important to burn off the alcohol and remove the harsh flavour.
- Once the pungent alcohol smell has disappeared, pour in beef stock and cream. Stir until combined, then add in 1 tsp wholegrain mustard and a pinch of salt (to taste).
- Keep on a gentle simmer for around 10mins, or until nice and thick, stirring somewhat frequently. Test for seasoning and adjust accordingly. If you want more of the whiskey flavour stir in more 1 tsp at a time. Careful, it'll be strong as you won't have burnt off the booze!
- To make the sandwich spread onion chutney on one side, followed by bacon. Spoon over haggis and press down to secure, then add a pinch of white pepper (if you like it). Drizzle over whiskey sauce then top with a second slice of bread. Enjoy!

Notes
a) Haggis - You'll obviously find this in Scottish supermarkets, possibly other UK ones too. The instructions to cook are on the packet, usually microwave, boil or bake. You most likely won't need all the haggis unless you pack it in or make more sandwiches!
b) Onion Chutney - This is a crucial ingredient and adds a gorgeous tangy sweetness. You'll find it in all supermarkets in the jam/chutney/condiments section.
c) Black Pepper - This adds a nice bit of heat to the sauce to enhance the warmth from the whiskey. It also gives vibes of a peppercorn sauce, which is always a good time! I recommend cracked/coarse black pepper over the dusty variety. Much more flavour, especially when toasted in the pan!
d) Whiskey Cream Sauce - You can ignite the whiskey, I tend not to because personally I find the difference minimal. The more you reduce down the whiskey the less pungent it'll be. I recommend reducing down a lot initially, because you can always add a touch more. Much more difficult to take it out!
e) Can I make the sauce ahead of time? - Yes, just allow to cool and tightly store in the fridge for a few days. Reheat over LOW heat in the pan until just heated through, just so it doesn't split. Add a dash of water if you need to loosen it up.
