Grain-Free Scotch Eggs:
Ingredients:
- 7 boiled and peeled eggs
- uncooked/raw ground sausage
- cooking oil
- Pink of salt & pepper on each egg
- chopped jalapenos (optional!)
Make a flat circle of sausage, like a large patty. Place the peeled boiled egg in the center and wrap the sausage all around the egg. Smooth it around and make sure the egg is not showing.
The Oil:
Your oil needs to be consistently about 190 degrees Celsius. If it's too low your food will get all greasy and too hot and it will smoke and burn (for some reason my husband is an oil expert, who knew?) I don't like to fry things with oil, so I didn't much and needed to roll them around to get all sides cooked. How long you cook the egg depends on how thick the sausage around the egg is. The thicker the sausage, the longer you cook. I made the mistake on the first one to take it out too quickly. It looked completely cooked on the outside so I thought it was done, but once I cut it open the sausage directly around the inside of the egg was still very raw. You don't want to eat raw sausage. My advice is to give it a little more time on all sides once it looks done.

Scotch Eggs! Yum |
Nice. Great idea :-)
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you make it! They were really fun and good, but a little trouble with the oil
DeleteDefinitely want to try this.
ReplyDeleteSo very cool! I saw it on your low sugar board and was hoping you would make it!
ReplyDeletelooks yummy

Thanks for the new recipe-take care
ReplyDeleteThese look so fun, I'll have to try them! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHmmm....interesting;) I love sausage, I love eggs, and I loved fried food!
ReplyDeleteLOL!! And, wow, those eggs sounds tasty! I wonder if you could bake them instead, or if they would take too long to cook? It just seems like overkill to deep fry sausage.
ReplyDeleteWhat the heck? Amber, I posted that last comment. Dawn
ReplyDeleteI thought about it too, but then I was Id already changed them too much. What about just cooking it in a skillet w/o the oil? Strangely they werent oily tasting, but Ill give that a try next time. I dont ever fry stuff so I didnt like that part for sure!
DeleteSounds like a tasty treat. Since i just got around to making the flaxseed muffin, it will probably be about a year until I can try these. On the 'to do' list!! Hugs from me to you!
ReplyDeleteEaster is coming...could be a fun one to try. My Scottish Dad has that humour you mention...wish I did!
ReplyDeleteAmber, thought I'd add a BFC approved food here, it is not grain free(I do not know how I can e-mail you). It only has 4.4g carbohydrates for one wafer and no sugar at all.Can you review the following on your blog maybe? Go to www.garavogue.ca/poppers. I have not tried one yet,just read about it now. It lists Canadian sources, hopefully you can get it in the U.S.
