Cullen skink pies, vegetarian haggis and chippy fritters: Ali Stoner’s recipes for twists on Scottish classics
Scots have a rich food history that’s been passed down through generations. Here are my modern takes on traditional Celtic staples
TL;DR
- Modern takes on traditional Scottish recipes are presented: Cullen skink bake, vegetarian haggis, and chippy batter potato fritters.
- The Cullen skink bake is a smoked fish pie filling thickened from traditional cullen skink soup, finished with cheddar.
- Vegetarian haggis replicates the flavor, texture, and appearance of the original, and the article includes a recipe for a versatile Scottish seven-spice blend.
- Chippy batter potato fritters use a simple batter with malt vinegar and cornflour for a crispy texture, served with optional pickled onion mayo.
- The recipes are inspired by generations of Scottish home cooking, adapted for contemporary kitchens and shorter time constraints.
