This is a classic Scottish sauce to accompany your haggis, tatties and neeps whether for a Burns Night or St Andrew’s day supper. It’s also super easy to make!

Ingredients:

4 tbsp cracked black pepper
50g (1/4 cup) butter
1 tsp vegetable oil
2 shallots, peeled and finely chopped
120ml (1/2 cup) Scotch whisky
200ml (4/5 cup) beef stock
200ml (4/5 cup) double (heavy) cream

Method:

Begin by toasting the black pepper in a dry frying pan. Take off the heat, turn onto a cold plate and set aside.

Melt the butter and oil together in the same pan and add the shallots. Fry until fragrant and soft, but not browned (about 6 minutes). Pour in the whisky, turn up the heat and simmer for a second.

Now add the beef stock, then the cream. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for around 10 minutes or until reduced by about half. Stir in the cracked pepper.
