Do not peel the onions
Cut a slither from the root end of each of the onion, so they stand upright.
Cut a cross in the top about three quarters of the way down.
Place in a large pan, cover with cold water and bring to the boil.
Simmer for 15 minutes, drain and refresh under cold water.
Preheat the oven to 190°C: 375°F: Gas 5.
Melt the margarine in a saucepan, add the oats, oatmeal and mixed nuts.
Cook over a gentle heat, stirring, for about 3 minutes until toasted and golden.
Transfer to a bowl.
Finely chop the onion, mushrooms and carrot
Melt remaining margarine, add the onion, mushrooms and carrot and cook gently for 5 minutes until
softened.
Stir into the toasted oat mixture with the remaining haggis ingredients, season well.
Remove the centre of the onions with kitchen scissors, leaving the skin and 3-4 outer layers intact.
Stuff with haggis and bake for 40 minutes.
