Cooking Method
You may need to order the meat ingredients in advance from your butcher as they may not always be readily available.
The heart, lungs and liver of the lamb are collectively known as the “pluck”.
You will probably have to buy the whole thing but if you can persuade the butcher to sell you just the heart, one lung and half the liver that will provide plenty of haggis for 6 servings
If you must take the lot, prepare it all and freeze half the haggis mixture, well wrapped and all air removed, to make your next batch.it will keep in the freezer for about two months.
