Using either black pudding or haggis with the smoked haddock fishcake is a sublime combination. The warm mustard dressing drizzled over the top complements the dish so well.

Ingredients
  • 500g black pudding, 12 slices 1cm thick (or haggis formed into 12 patties)
  • 1/2 small leek sliced very finely
  • butter for frying
  • Fish cakes
  • 300g smoked haddock
  • 1/2 onion peeled
  • 185ml milk
  • 3 sprigs parsley
  • 4 black peppercorns
  • 450g peeled potatoes
  • 30g butter
  • 1 garlic clove crushed
  • 10g chives finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 tsp coarse grain mustard
  • 115g grated cheddar
  • 2 egg yolks
  • seasoning to taste
  • Dressing
  • 150ml olive oil
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • ½ tsp English mustard powder
  • 2 tsp runny honey
  • ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • a dash Tabasco sauce
  • ½ tbsp coarse grain mustard
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • 10g fresh dill
  • 1 clove garlic
  • salt
  • ground black pepper
Directions
  • Step 1 Poach the smoked haddock in the milk with the onion, peppercorns and parsley for 10 minutes until lightly cooked. Drain the haddock and discard the poaching liquid, leave to cool.
  • Step 2 Meanwhile boil the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, drain and mash with the crushed garlic clove and the butter.
  • Step 3 Allow the mash to cool for 10 minutes and then mix in the egg yolks, grated cheddar, flaked haddock and season to taste. Form the haddock mixture into 12 cakes about the same diameter as the black pudding slices.
  • Step 4 Place the fish cakes onto a baking tray and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes at 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 6. Meanwhile gently fry the black pudding slices in butter for 10 minutes, turning once, until just starting to crisp. Remove the slices and keep warm whilst frying the leek in the same butter until golden.
  • Step 5 Meanwhile whizz all the dressing ingredients together in a blender and transfer to a small saucepan to heat gently.
  • Step 6 Top 3 fish patties with 3 black pudding slices. Drizzle over a few spoonful’s of dressing and finally top with the leek and serve.
