Perfect Paleo Scotch Egg

Project Description

Here’s a Quick and Easy Paleo Recipe for the Weekend!

Don’t you just love a Scotch Egg. A delicious portable protein treat, perfect for any meal of the day, or a mid afternoon treat. I don’t know about you but to me, a perfect Scotch Egg comes from having a running yolk! If the yolk is hard, it’s just not as good.

Scotch Eggs are totally easy to make- once you know how!

So, what’s the secret? How do you achieve a perfect paleo Scotch Egg, quick and easy?

You will need:-

4 Free Range Eggs

6 Organic Sausages

Chilli and Paprika (or whatever seasoning you fancy.)

Handful of mixed seeds

Handful of pumpkin seeds

Method:

Skin the sausages, discarding the skin. Add the seasoning, and season additionally with salt and black pepper. Blitz in a mini blender, then roll out, on a piece of cling film. Pop in the refrigerator. Meanwhile take your eggs and add them to a pan of water, so the water is covering the eggs. Now, bring the eggs to boil. (This is the secret.) Once the pan looks as if it is going to boil, take the eggs from off the heat. Leave the eggs in the water for 2-3 minutes. Then remove from the water, and plunge into a bowl of iced water until the eggs are cold. Now peel the eggs using a teaspoon. I find this way id best, to avoid damaging the egg. Be patient, as the last thing you want to do is split the egg at this stage, as the yolk is still runny. Once you have peeled the eggs, roll the egg in the sausage meat mixture, and roll into a ball. Massage the egg over the seams, to ensure that the meat does not split when fried. In the mini blender, blend together the seeds, so they form a dust. Now roll the sausage meat egg in this. Heat a pan, and in olive oil fry the eggs, for around 5-10 minutes, slowly rolling the egg when the sides become golden brown.

Enjoy! Let me know how you get on!
