Method
For the Unconventional Olive Alscone Scotch Egg
Scotch Egg
- Take a 30g piece of the sausage mix and flatten into a disc
- Place an olive into the centre and enclose the olive in the mix so a ball is formed and no gaps or cracks evident
- Make a batter out of the flour and water, then dip the balls into the batter and drain
- Roll the balls into the breadcrumb and then leave to firm up then chill
Sausage Mix
- Heat the olive oil and cook the onions and herbs for a few minutes with colour until softened, then add the breadcrumbs and mix together and remove from the heat
- Once cooled, mix the onion mix with the sausage meat and combine evenly
To serve
- Either deep fry or shallow fry to give colour then place in the oven at 160c for 5-6 minutes
Enjoy!
