Scotch eggs.

Ingredients:

6 hard boiled Eggs.
1 Beaten Egg.
1lb of Sausage Meat.
6 Slices of Stale bread.
1 Tablespoon of Oil, I have used Vegetable oil, but you could use Sunflower, Corn, Olive, etc.
Seasonings; I have used Freshly milled dried Garlic and Chili with Black Pepper for the sausage meat, and Ground white Pepper, and Sea Salt with Seaweed for the breadcrumbs.


Measure out the sausage meat and stir the seasoning in well. Stand in the fridge over night.

Break up the slices of stale bread, and zap with a blender.

Stir the milled Sea salt and Seaweed, and the ground white pepper into the breadcrumbs.

Knead the sausage meat with clean hands to remove any trapped air, separate into 6 balls, rolling and squeezing them in the hands until the surface is smooth.

Cover a chopping board in cling film, and then "throw" one of the sausage meat balls at the board, as a potter would throw clay on to the wheel. Cover with another layer of cling film, then roll out with a rolling pin.

When you have the sausage meat rolled out evenly, roll it on to a hard boiled egg. And then work it in the hands rolling and squeezing until you have a smooth even surface.

Roll your cannonballs of sausage meat and egg in the breadcrumbs.

When you have them all covered in Breadcrumbs, place them in the freezer for about 30 minutes.

Beat an Egg with a tablespoonful of oil and a little Salt & Pepper. Roll the covered eggs in the beaten egg, and then in the breadcrumbs.

Place on a baking tray and bake in a medium oven for 45-60 minutes

Remove from the oven, and allow to cool before eating. I have just had a warm Scotch egg with bread and butter, celery, a few chunks of mature chedder cheese and a dollop of home-made Mushroom Ketchup .... .... .... .... Delicious!
