G.O.A.T. (Greatest of all time) SCOTCH EGG (HUEVON DE CABRA) by Chef Niall Wallis of Tasting Spain

METHOD

PREPARATION

  1. Remove the skin and almonds from the black pudding
  2. Mix the remaining sweet black pudding with the goat mince and season with the spices and
    herbs. Chill the mix in the fridge while we continue.
  3. In a small pot boil water and add the quail’s eggs for 3 minutes. Then remove the eggs and place them in a bowl of iced water to cut the cooking process.
  4. Peel the eggs.
  5. With the meat mix make six round balls.
  6. Squash them into a mini-Burger. Place the egg in the centre and carefully wrap the meat around. The egg to encase it completely. I should look at meatballs again. Repeat the process with the
    other eggs.
  7. Beat a chicken’s egg in a bowl.
  8. For coating the G.O.A.T. Scotch Eggs, first coat them with the oatmeal Gofio flour, then dip them in the beaten egg and finally in the oatmeal flakes.

COOKING

  1. Deep Fry the balls in sunflower oil for several minutes until Golden Brown.

PRESENTATION

  1. Like any Scotch Egg this version can be eaten hot or cold. Dip it with your favourite sauces. I recommend aioli garlic mayonnaise and my mojo agridulce but you can experiment.
