0:00:26 > 0:00:29Whose kitchen are we going to today?

0:00:29 > 0:00:31Hello, my name's Conor.

0:00:31 > 0:00:33Welcome to my house. Please come in.

0:00:35 > 0:00:38- This is my dad.- Hello.- Hi, Dad.

0:00:38 > 0:00:43And this is our kitchen, and today we're going to be making

0:00:43 > 0:00:45vegetarian haggis, cos I love it!

0:00:45 > 0:00:48Conor's dad has shown him a very special way

0:00:48 > 0:00:50to make vegetarian haggis.

0:00:50 > 0:00:54Conor's family are Scottish, and they live in Scotland.

0:00:54 > 0:00:58Scotland is part of the UK, along with England, Wales

0:00:58 > 0:01:00and Northern Ireland.

0:01:00 > 0:01:04Scotland's hills are good for grazing animals, and the

0:01:04 > 0:01:08weather is perfect for growing lots of different types of food.

0:01:08 > 0:01:12The winters there are cold, so, many years ago, people would eat

0:01:12 > 0:01:17lots of foods like porridge, stews and soups to keep them warm.

0:01:19 > 0:01:21Haggis is a famous Scottish food.

0:01:21 > 0:01:23It's an unusual type of savoury pudding.

0:01:23 > 0:01:28On special occasions in Scotland, bagpipes are played as the cooked

0:01:28 > 0:01:32haggis is taken the table, where it's eaten with neeps and tatties.

0:01:35 > 0:01:40Connor has washed his hands, put on his apron and is ready to cook.

0:01:40 > 0:01:44I'm going to be making vegetarian haggis with neeps and tatties,

0:01:44 > 0:01:46for my friends.

0:01:46 > 0:01:50And he's invited Cooper, Amy, and Alonso to taste a

0:01:50 > 0:01:55special ingredient before they come round for a Scottish meal later.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57What's that?

0:01:57 > 0:02:00Um, a piece of grass maybe?

0:02:00 > 0:02:02It's not grass!

0:02:02 > 0:02:05It tastes quite plain.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07I won't eat any more of it.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09No, it's disgusting.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11Ha-ha! It's fresh coriander.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14I would like to try it if I had it in a meal.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17That's good, but not everyone seems to like it.

0:02:17 > 0:02:21Let's see if Conor can change their minds, because coriander is

0:02:21 > 0:02:24one of the ingredients in his vegetarian haggis.

0:02:24 > 0:02:29As well as coriander, you'll need butter, mushrooms,

0:02:29 > 0:02:31milk,

0:02:31 > 0:02:35chopped hazelnuts, potatoes

0:02:35 > 0:02:38ground nutmeg, stock powder,

0:02:38 > 0:02:42a carrot, tinned kidney beans,

0:02:42 > 0:02:46water, porridge oats,

0:02:46 > 0:02:49black pepper, spring onions,

0:02:49 > 0:02:53a neep - which is also known as a swede - and some salt.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56- What's first, Conor?- What I'm going

0:02:56 > 0:03:01to be doing is, I am going to be mixing the stock with the water.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03And then you would mix it.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08Now, time to drain your kidney beans...

0:03:08 > 0:03:10and tip them onto a plate.

0:03:13 > 0:03:17- What's next?- And we're going to be mashing the beans.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20It is really fun, mashing the beans,

0:03:20 > 0:03:22and I mean REALLY fun.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26So now that's properly mashed,

0:03:26 > 0:03:31what we need to do is pour the kidney beans into the big bowl.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33Now tear up the mushrooms...

0:03:33 > 0:03:39It's very healthy to put in every single part of the mushroom.

0:03:39 > 0:03:43..and carefully grate a carrot.

0:03:43 > 0:03:46So some people think that haggis is a wee animal that

0:03:46 > 0:03:48runs about the Highlands,

0:03:48 > 0:03:50but you can tell it's not.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52Ha-ha! You're quite right there, Conor.

0:03:52 > 0:03:56Make sure you collect all your gratings with a fork or a spoon.

0:03:56 > 0:04:01After you grate your carrot, the carrot goes in the bowl.

0:04:01 > 0:04:05Now add the chopped hazelnuts...

0:04:05 > 0:04:07porridge oats...

0:04:07 > 0:04:09ground nutmeg...

0:04:09 > 0:04:11and some black pepper.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16So, next, we're going to chop up the spring onion,

0:04:16 > 0:04:19but first what you need to do is...

0:04:19 > 0:04:22you cut off the hairy head.

0:04:22 > 0:04:26And the not-so-hairy tail!

0:04:26 > 0:04:30Then carefully cut up the rest of the spring onions.

0:04:31 > 0:04:35Now that the spring onions are all cut, it's

0:04:35 > 0:04:39time for my very special ingredient.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41You know what that is, don't you?

0:04:41 > 0:04:44That's right, it's coriander.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46Coriander is a plant that flowers,

0:04:46 > 0:04:50and is one of the most popular herbs used in cooking.

0:04:50 > 0:04:55It's name comes from a Greek word that also means bedbugs! Ooh!

0:04:55 > 0:04:59Coriander can be found growing all over the world.

0:04:59 > 0:05:03Usually people only eat coriander leaves and seeds,

0:05:03 > 0:05:07but you can eat the rest of the plant, too.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10The taste of coriander is very strong.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12Most people either love it or hate it.

0:05:13 > 0:05:17Let's see if that's true for Conor's friends.

0:05:17 > 0:05:22So, coriander is right here.

0:05:22 > 0:05:26Carefully cut it up with scissors...

0:05:26 > 0:05:28then add it to your mixture.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31Spring onions next.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35And the stock Conor made earlier.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39Now just give it a really good mix...

0:05:39 > 0:05:45And then you need to split it into fours by using this tray.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47And four muffin cases.

0:05:47 > 0:05:50And then you need to put all the haggis in, just...

0:05:50 > 0:05:52like...that.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57So, after you pat it down,

0:05:57 > 0:06:00you need an adult to put it in the oven for 40 minutes.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03- Dad!- Absolutely, Conor.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06And Dad's already made some neeps and tatties!

0:06:06 > 0:06:11- These are now cool enough for you to mash, Conor.- Thank you.

0:06:12 > 0:06:15In Scotland, potatoes are called tatties.

0:06:15 > 0:06:20Once they're nicely mashed, and milk and butter.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22And now we had a pinch of salt.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27Now I need to go on to the neeps.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31Neeps are also known as swede.

0:06:31 > 0:06:35Just need to push down really hard

0:06:35 > 0:06:38to make it as mashed as possible.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41Three, four, five...

0:06:41 > 0:06:44Dad, is it ready?

0:06:44 > 0:06:46Yeah, that looks great, Conor.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49Now I need to get ready for my friends to come over.

0:06:49 > 0:06:52If you'd like to cook Conor's vegetarian haggis with neeps

0:06:52 > 0:06:57and tatties, add stock powder to warm water and give it a mix.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02Drain kidney beans and mash them up.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09Put them into a bowl...

0:07:09 > 0:07:12tear up some mushrooms...

0:07:12 > 0:07:15grate a carrot...

0:07:15 > 0:07:16and add to the bowl.

0:07:18 > 0:07:20Chopped hazelnuts next.

0:07:20 > 0:07:23porridge oats...

0:07:23 > 0:07:25nutmeg...

0:07:25 > 0:07:27and black pepper.

0:07:28 > 0:07:32Carefully top and tail spring onions and chop them up.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38Then chop coriander, just like this.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41Then add them to the bowl.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46Pour in the stock mixture...

0:07:46 > 0:07:49and give it a really good mix.

0:07:51 > 0:07:55Spoon the haggis mixture into the muffin cases...

0:07:55 > 0:07:58then ask a grown-up to put them in the oven,

0:07:58 > 0:08:01and to help you boil the tatties.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04And your neeps!

0:08:04 > 0:08:07And when they're slightly cooled, add milk,

0:08:07 > 0:08:11butter and a pinch of salt to the potatoes...

0:08:13 > 0:08:16and mash it altogether.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19Then mash your neeps in the same way.

0:08:20 > 0:08:25And they're ready to serve when your vegetarian haggis is cooked.

0:08:25 > 0:08:31Now, there's just enough time for Connor to get the table ready.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33Oh, look! Thistles!

0:08:33 > 0:08:36A well-known symbol of Scotland there.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38There's only one more thing Conor needs.

0:10:10 > 0:10:14Earlier on, no-one was sure about the taste of fresh coriander.
