Author Notes
These scotch eggs are so simple to make, meaty, filling and flavoursome. They are as amazing cold for a picnic or lunch box, or hot as a starter or lunch time snack. —Paleo With Mrs P
Ingredients
-
6
whole pork sausages, 100% organic butchers meat
-
1 teaspoon
paprika
-
1 teaspoon
salt
-
1 pinch
pepper
-
2 tablespoons
ground almonds
-
100 grams
mixed seeds
-
6
large eggs
Directions
-
Turn oven on to 180°c
-
Place 4 large eggs in to boiling water for 6 minutes (medium eggs: 5 minutes, small eggs: 4 minutes). Take off heat and place in to ice-cold water whilst you carry on with the rest of the preparations
-
In to a blender place the almond meal, pinch of salt and mixed seeds, blitz until coarse and crumbly, place aside
-
In to the blender place all sausage meat (make sure to de-skin beforehand), spices, salt and pepper, blend until fully combined and sticky
-
Peel the cold eggs, gently (as they will still be soft-boiled)
-
Now break sausage mixture in to 6 balls. Using the palm of your hand create a “cup”, flat patty shape. Place one egg into the middle and work the sausage mixture around it making sure to fully seal all the sides
-
Now dip the ball in to the egg mix (1 whisked egg) and fully cover smoothing all the sides (this is how your meat and egg will stay bound)
-
Roll the ball straight in to the mixed seeds / almond mixture
-
In to a shallow frying pan over high heat heat up about 1/2 cup olive oil and place scotch egg in to the oil. Brown each side for around 1-2 minutes until golden brown, then place on to a baking sheet and bake for 5 – 6 minutes
-
Serve straight away with homemade chutney, rocket and avocado
