Scotch eggs are soft or hard-boiled eggs encased in sausage meat, breaded and fried (or baked). Served with pickles and a mustard sauce. According to Culinary Delights of Yorkshire, they originated in Whitby, Yorkshire, England, in the 19th century, and were originally covered in fish paste rather than sausage meat. They were supposedly named after William J. Scott & Sons, a well-known eatery which sold them.

Scotch eggs are a common picnic food, but they make a wonderful starter or a simple snack. Instead of using ready made sausage meat, I use lamb mince flavoured with baharat, garlic and parsley. Any kind of ground meat would work. Crust

4 Medium eggs, room-temperature
plain flour, to dust
300 g Lamb mince
1 tbsp Baharat
1 Large garlic clove, finely minced
1 tbsp Flat parsley, finely chopped
Salt and black pepper to taste
500 g Lard, to fry
Salad, to serve
Mustard sauce, to serve

50 g Plain flour
100 g Breadcrumbs
1 Large egg, beaten

Place 4 eggs in a saucepan of water. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to low and cook for 4 minutes for soft-boiled eggs. Drain eggs and plunge immediately in a bowl of iced water until cool. Peel eggs and pat dry with paper towel. Dust with flour and set aside.
