Vegetarian Haggis

• 1 cup French lentils prepared this way, Link to Out of the Ordinary French Lentils
• 1 cup mushrooms roasted, flavored with plenty of sage, thyme and rosemary, Link to Out of the Ordinary Roasted Mushrooms
• 1 cup rolled oats toasted till fragrant and lightly brown
• 1 cup mixed nuts roughly chopped
• 1/2 cup kidney beans
• 1 cup cheddar grated sharp
• 4 tablespoons butter cut into pieces
• 1 tablespoon whisky I used laphroaig, which has a lovely smokey flavor
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• nutmeg
• allspice
• salt
• black pepper lots and lots and lots and lots of
• 7 leaves very large chard

1. Combine everything but the chard leaves in a large bowl and stir to mix well. Leave out about 1 T worth of butter pieces.
2. In a large pot of salted water, boil the chard leaves for a couple of minutes, until they're wilted, but still bright. Drain them, and leave to cool for a moment. They don't need to be completely dry.
3. Butter a medium-sized bowl or dish. Line the bowl with the chard leaves - starting in the center and moving around like the petals of a flower. Make sure the leaves overlap one another. Their tips should hang over the outside of the bowl.
4. Press the filling into the leave-lined bowl, and then fold the tips of the chard leaves over. Overlap them again, until you have a smooth, coherent surface of chard leaves. Dot the surface with the remaining tablespoonful of butter.
5. Bake at 400 for 15 to 20 minutes, till it's hot through.
