and since we can't eat sliced bread on a Paleo diet ....well its just the best thing ever!!!!!
I am sure many of you are aware of what Scotch Eggs are-they are famous from High Tea with The Queen of England back in the day aparently!- I am just discovering them!!!!!
I first saw them on a some sight recently, for the life of me I cannot remember which one....and then they appeared in Well Fed, my new fav cookbook infatuation.....
I took this as a sign, I must make them NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn't follow each recipe exactly, but the method-well that is the same anywhere you look......
SCOTCH EGGS
12 hard boiled eggsGround Sausage ( or ground pork that you season as you wish)
First, hardboil your eggs.....
HOW TO HARD BOIL THE PERFECT EGG.... (this I have been doing for years, trust me!)
- place eggs in a pan, cover with cold water
-bring water to a boil on the stove and then cover the pot and take it off the burner.
-wait 10 minutes and then place the eggs in a bowl of ice water to cool them off quickly, then place in the fridge to get completely cold
- now you can peel them as us as you wish---
(if you do not place in in cold water when you take them out but let them sit for 20-30 min instead before placing them in fridge the inside will cook a tad bit more, the cold water will give you a perfect yolk!!!!!)
NEXT-
-Get your sausage (either preseasoned or seasoned as you see fit-whatever flavors you feel like at the moment) and Make 12 even sized balls.
- Now flatten a patty and wrap it around an egg. Place on a cookie sheet. ( just keep kneading it and you will soon have the egg completely covered, I promise!)
( a trick I learned from WELL FED, for something extra coat in PORK RIND crumbs before baking-with a thin layer... if you want a thick layer go one more step and roll in beaten egg and then again in pork rind crumbs before baking)
-I used CAW CAW PORK ground sausage....- I buy mine at the ALL LOCAL FARMERS MARKET
THEY WERE HEAVENLY!!!!! I mean seriously, how were these not a Southern FOOD? British?????? Really??????
Well, either way I will take it. I will be making these OFTEN from now on!!!!!!!
I'll never forget: you were the one who taught me to hard-boil the perfect egg at your parents' house! :)
