I felt like a contestant in Ready Steady Cook!
Thinking hats on, what would you make with the following?
- Galloway Cheddar Cheese
- Haggis
- Chorizo
- Tortilla Wraps
- Peppers
- Onions
- Turnip
- Potatoes
- Leek
- Macaroni pasta
- Oatcakes
With it being near St Andrew's Day, we decided to make something with the haggis and rather than the usual haggis, neeps and tatties, I decided to throw together some Haggis Quesadillas. Super easy to make and they tasted amazing. I cooked the haggis in the microwave, and separately I grated the Galloway cheddar cheese and mixed this with some chopped spring onion. With a frying pan over a medium heat, I added a drizzle of oil before placing in a tortilla wrap. I then sprinkled on the cheese & spring onion mixture and then the haggis before covering with another wrap. I cooked this on both sides until the cheese was all melted. Remove from the pan and cut into wedges. I served this with salad.

Before the top was added!
The final result. Yum!
I also decided to make a macaroni cheese. Seemed obvious given we had the two main ingredients - cheese and macaroni pasta! However I decided to give it a bit of a twist and added sautéed onion, leek and chorizo into the pasta before baking in the oven.
The ingredients
I cooked some pasta according to the packet instructions, and whilst this was cooking I sautéed some onion, leek and chorizo in a frying pan. After about 5 minutes or when the onions were soft, I took it off the heat whilst I made a cheese sauce. I followed Delia Smith's recipe for an all-in-one white sauce to which I added plenty grated Galloway Cheddar cheese. I then mixed the macaroni, onion, leek, chorizo and cheese sauce all together in a pan before transferring to a dish and sprinkling with even more cheese! Super easy and tasted great.

Ta da! Sprinkle with cheese and bake for 20-30 minutes until the cheese has melted.
It was delish!
And then finally, with the remaining ingredients I made a yummy vegetable soup in my slow cooker. Just throw everything in with some stock and cook on slow for a few hours. I then blitzed with my hand blender and served this with oatcakes, and cheese of course!
